Pirate Jenny (LP Version) - Judy Collins[00:00:01]

You gentlemen can watch while I'm scrubbin the floor[00:00:04]

And I'm scrubbin' the floor while you're gawking[00:00:07]

And maybe once you tipped me and it made you feel swell[00:00:11]

In a ratty waterfront in this ratty old hotel[00:00:14]

But you'll never know to who you're talkin[00:00:18]

You never know to who you're talkin[00:00:21]

Suddenly one night there's a scream in the night[00:00:24]

And you yelled What the hell could that have been[00:00:27]

And you see me kinda grinnin while I'm scrubbin[00:00:30]

And you say What's she got to grin[00:00:35]

And the ship a Black Freighter[00:00:39]

With a skull on its masthead will be comin in[00:00:46]

Then you gentlemen can say Hey girl finish the floors[00:00:55]

Get upstairs make the beds earn your keep here[00:00:59]

You toss me your tips and look out at the ships[00:01:02]

But I'm countin' your heads[00:01:06]

While I make up the beds[00:01:07]

Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here[00:01:09]

Tonight none of you will sleep here[00:01:12]

Then that night there's a bang in the night[00:01:16]

And you yelled Who's that kicking up a row[00:01:19]

And ya see me kinda starin out the window[00:01:23]

And you say What's she got to stare at now[00:01:27]

And the ship the Black Freighter[00:01:32]

Turns around in the harbor[00:01:39]

Shootin guns from the bow[00:01:43]

Then you gentlemen can wipe off the laugh from your face[00:01:50]

Every building in town is a flat one[00:01:54]

Your whole stinking place will be down to the ground[00:01:57]

Only this cheap hotel standin' up safe and sound[00:02:00]

And you ask Why did they spare that one[00:02:04]

And you ask Why did they spare that one[00:02:08]

All the night through with the noise and to do[00:02:12]

You wonder who's the person lives up there[00:02:15]

Then you see me steppin' out in the mornin[00:02:19]

Lookin' nice with a ribbon in my hair[00:02:23]

And the ship the Black Freighter[00:02:30]

Runs the flag up its masthead[00:02:37]

And a cheer rings the air[00:02:40]

By noontime the dock[00:02:49]

Is a' swarmin' with men[00:02:50]

Comin' off of that ghostly freighter[00:02:52]

And they're movin' in the shadows[00:02:56]

Where no one can see[00:02:58]

And they're chainin' up people[00:03:00]

And bringin' them to me[00:03:01]

Askin' me[00:03:03]

Kill them now or later[00:03:04]

Askin' me[00:03:07]

Kill them now or later[00:03:08]

Noon by the clock[00:03:13]

And so still on the dock[00:03:15]

You can hear the foghorn miles away[00:03:20]

In that quiet of death[00:03:25]

I'll say Right now[00:03:29]

Then they'll pile up the bodies[00:03:34]

And I'll say That'll learn ya[00:03:37]

And the ship[00:03:43]

The Black Freighter[00:03:47]

Disappears out to sea and on it is me[00:03:51]
