Текст (слова) песни: Nina Simone - Pirate Jeny

You people can watch while I`m scrubbing these floors
And I`m scrubbin` the floors while you`re gawking
Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell
In this crummy Southern town
In this crummy old hotel
But you`ll never guess to who you`re talkin`.
No. You couldn`t ever guess to who you`re talkin`.

Then one night there`s a scream in the night
And you`ll wonder who could that have been
And you see me kinda grinnin` while I`m scrubbin`
And you say, "What`s she got to grin?"
I`ll tell you.

There`s a ship
The Black Freighter
with a skull on its masthead
will be coming in

You gentlemen can say, "Hey gal, finish them floors!
Get upstairs! What`s wrong with you! Earn your keep here!
You toss me your tips
and look out to the ships
But I`m counting your heads
as I`m making the beds
Cuz there`s nobody gonna sleep here, honey
Nobody
Nobody!

Then one night there`s a scream in the night
And you say, "Who`s that kicking up a row?"
And ya see me kinda starin` out the winda
And you say, "What`s she got to stare at now?"
I`ll tell ya.

There`s a ship
The Black Freighter
turns around in the harbor
shootin` guns from her bow

Now
You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face
Cause every building in town is a flat one
This whole frickin` place will be down to the ground
Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound
And you yell, "Why do they spare that one?"
Yes.
That`s what you say.
"Why do they spare that one?"

All the night through, through the noise and to-do
You wonder who is that person that lives up there?
And you see me stepping out in the morning
Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair

And the ship
The Black Freighter
runs a flag up its masthead
and a cheer rings the air

By noontime the dock
is a-swarmin` with men
comin` out from the ghostly freighter
They move in the shadows
where no one can see
And they`re chainin` up people
and they`re bringin` em to me
askin` me,
"Kill them NOW, or LATER?"
Askin` ME!
"Kill them now, or later?"

Noon by the clock
and so still by the dock
You can hear a foghorn miles away
And in that quiet of death
I`ll say, "Right now.
Right now!"

Then they`ll pile up the bodies
And I`ll say,
"That`ll learn ya!"

And the ship
The Black Freighter
disappears out to sea
And
on
it
is
me
