kit denton said that they used this as a running song in the paratroops.
 he said it was the last song they sang as they ran through the camp, and it was timed so that the last 3 lines were sung as they came up to, and passd, the chaplains office.
 the second version, more complete, I got from usaf major tom t.
 abbott, currently serving in europe, and a gulf war vet, who says this song has been in the services forever! captain kidd was executed after all the evidence proving his non-guilt of piracy(but not of buccaneering/privateering) was destroyed.
 he was executed in 1701.
 the ballad appeared as a broadsheet at his execution.
 at the time the event had such an impact in the english speaking world that the tune was taken up and the lyrics parodied for hymns of many denominations--but I'd be willing to bet that it was the brit military that began singing this parody, that they took it as their own, as soon as the broadside hit the streets;
 because of the abuse from not just senior officers, but civilians, it struck a empathetic note--as it does to this day! major abbott, tom t, also sings versions of 'next man to die',
and 'army hq' -as well as the best version/parody, both singing and lyrics, of nat king cole/platters/everly brothers 'when I fall in love'!!
