Hey Gareth, "Put 'im in bed with the Captain's Daughter" is my favorite, too. But I think(someone correct me if I'm wrong, please)the Captain's Daughter was a euphemism for the 'cat o' nine-tails', yes? The daughter part referring to the strands of leather resembling long hair...My sister-in-law used to admonish me for singing this verse while playing 'pirates' with my 4 and 5 year old nephews. I tried to explain what it meant, but she was resolute and I had to stop...lol They're both in their 20's now and this is the only 'folk song they know all the way through.
