I once was a captain of a ship
We sailed the seven seas
My men were loyal as men could be
For rum, whisky and tea
Then a woman from Babylonia
She come crawling up to me
She said I'll give you three wishes from this little lamp
If you would just marry me
So I wished for girls, I wished for gold
I wished that I would never grow old
And when it came time for me to propose I said no
I said give me another year or two
She said you tell lies, I said, I do
And she told this little tale to my whole crew
They came knocking on the captain's door for me
It was a good old-fashioned munity
I put out my wrists raised one eyebrow to the sea

I said tighten my chains boys, up on the stage boys
12 notches on the noose for me
Aint gonna need a doctor when the trap door falls
I know where I'm gonna be
Tighten my chains boys, up on the stage boys
Put my head on the guillotine
Aint gonna need a doctor when the blade comes down
I'll finally be free

I once was a judge in a magistrates
I locked criminals up all day
But I would free anybody if a little of the money
That they stole, would come my way
I judged a man from a gang, and I let him hang
Too few pennies, he'd paid
But forgotten to me, was the signed receipt
That his family had saved
The very next day as I walked towards
The judge's bench at the back of the hall
The magistrate said, as he shook his head
Today your place is in the defendants stall

I said tighten my chains boys, up on the stage boys
12 notches on the noose for me
Aint gonna need a doctor when the trap door falls
I know where I'm gonna be
Tighten my chains boys, up on the stage boys
Put my head on the guillotine
Aint gonna need a doctor when the blade comes down
I'll finally be free

I'm living the only way I want to be
Can you please address me as a libertine
I don't believe in loss or profit, babe
I don't regret a single choice I've made
And if you met me in another life
You wouldn't tell me it was wrong or right
You wouldn't give me half the time of day
It's one of the many things I'll never say

So tighten my chains boys, up on the stage boys
12 notches on the noose for me
Aint gonna need a doctor when the trap door falls
I know where I'm gonna be
Tighten my chains boys, up on the stage boys
Put my head on the guillotine
Aint gonna need a doctor when the blade comes down
I'll finally be free
