Tol' my captain |
| Tol' My Captain my hands was cold |
| Set down your hands boy, let the wheeling roll |
| I asked my captain to give me time |
| Damned old captain wouldn’t pay me no mind |
| I raised my hand to wipe the sweat off my head |
| Captain got mad, Lord shot my buddy dead |
| He kept on walkin' up and down |
| Buddy laying there dead, Lord |
| On the burning ground |
| If I’d a had my weight and line |
| I’d a whipped that captain |
| Till he went stone blind |
| If you don’t believe my buddy is dead |
| Just look at that hole in my buddy’s head |
| The buzzard’s circlin' round the sky |
| Oh that captain sure is bound to die |
| Sure is bound to die. |
