I'm sure it is "If my captain ever died"
but when I first heard the lineIi thought it was followed by

Listen again, he doesn't over pronounce the word, but i'm certain Andy says lieutenant.
I'm certain that he doesn't. Turn your speakers up. At the end of the word is a hard "T" sound. Andy would never use that kind of emphasis on "lieutenant." Also, that would make no sense. Lieutenants don't exist in the sailing world.
