You people can watch while Im scrubbing these floors[00:00:04]

And Im scrubbin the floors while youre gawking[00:00:07]

Maybe once ya tip me and it makes ya feel swell[00:00:11]

In this crummy southern town[00:00:14]

In this crummy old hotel[00:00:16]

But youll never guess to who youre talkin [00:00:18]

No you couldnt ever guess to who youre talkin [00:00:22]

Then one night theres a scream in the night[00:00:30]

And youll wonder who could that have been[00:00:35]

And you see me kinda grinnin while Im scrubbin[00:00:40]

And you say whats she got to grin [00:00:45]

Ill tell you [00:00:49]

Theres a ship[00:00:53]

The black freighter[00:01:00]

With a skull on its masthead[00:01:02]

Will be coming in[00:01:07]

You gentlemen can say hey gal finish them floors [00:01:15]

Get upstairs whats wrong with you earn your keep here [00:01:18]

You toss me your tips[00:01:22]

And look out to the ships[00:01:24]

But Im counting your heads[00:01:25]

As Im making the beds[00:01:27]

Cuz theres nobody gonna sleep here honey[00:01:29]

Nobody[00:01:34]

Nobody [00:01:41]

Then one night theres a scream in the night[00:01:48]

And you say whos that kicking up a row [00:01:52]

And ya see me kinda starin out the winda[00:01:56]

And you say whats she got to stare at now [00:02:03]

Ill tell ya [00:02:08]

Theres a ship[00:02:10]

The black freighter[00:02:17]

Turns around in the harbor[00:02:22]

Shootin guns from her bow[00:02:27]

Now[00:02:32]

You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face[00:02:36]

Cause every building in town is a flat one[00:02:40]

This whole frickin place will be down to the ground[00:02:43]

Only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound[00:02:47]

And you yell why do they spare that one [00:02:51]

Yes [00:02:55]

Thats what you say [00:02:56]

Why do they spare that one [00:02:57]

All the night through through the noise and to-do[00:03:06]

You wonder who is that person that lives up there [00:03:09]

And you see me stepping out in the morning[00:03:15]

Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair[00:03:20]

And the ship[00:03:31]

The black freighter[00:03:37]

Runs a flag up its masthead[00:03:42]

And a cheer rings the air[00:03:45]

By noontime the dock[00:03:53]

Is a-swarmin with men[00:03:56]

Comin out from the ghostly freighter[00:03:59]

They move in the shadows[00:04:03]

Where no one can see[00:04:06]

And theyre chainin up people[00:04:08]

And theyre bringin em to me[00:04:10]

Askin me [00:04:12]

Kill them now or later [00:04:14]

Askin me [00:04:17]

Kill them now or later [00:04:20]

Noon by the clock[00:04:28]

And so still by the dock[00:04:33]

You can hear a foghorn miles away[00:04:39]

And in that quiet of death[00:04:51]

Ill say right now [00:04:56]

Right now [00:05:04]

Then theyll pile up the bodies[00:05:13]

And Ill say [00:05:18]

Thatll learn ya [00:05:20]

And the ship[00:05:23]

The black freighter[00:05:38]

Disappears out to sea[00:05:48]

And[00:06:02]

On[00:06:05]

It[00:06:07]

Is[00:06:10]

Me[00:06:12]
