Pirate Jenny (Live Stereo 1964/New York)

Pirate Jenny (Live Stereo 1964/New York) - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)[00:00:00]

You people can watch while I'm scrubbing these floors[00:00:04]

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

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

In this crummy southern town in this crummy old hotel[00:00:14]

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

No you couldn't ever guess to who you're talkin'[00:00:22]

Then one night there's a scream in the night[00:00:31]

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

And you see me kinda grinnin' while I'm scrubbin'[00:00:40]

And you say "What's she got to grin " I'll tell you[00:00:45]

There's a ship The Black Freighter[00:00:53]

With a skull on its masthead will be coming in[00:01:03]

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

Get upstairs [00:01:18]

What's wrong with you Earn your keep here [00:01:19]

You toss me your tips and look out to the ships[00:01:22]

But I'm counting your heads as I'm making the beds[00:01:25]

'Cuz there's nobody gonna sleep here tonight[00:01:29]

Nobody is going to sleep here honey[00:01:34]

Nobody nobody [00:01:38]

Then one night there's a scream in the night[00:01:48]

And you say "Who's that kicking up a row "[00:01:52]

And you see me kinda starin' out the window[00:01:57]

And you say "What's she got to stare at now "[00:02:03]

I'll tell you[00:02:08]

There's a ship [00:02:11]

The Black Freighter turns around in the harbor[00:02:17]

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

Now you gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face[00:02:35]

'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 that's what you say "Why do they spare that one "[00:02:55]

All the night through through the noise and to do[00:03:05]

You wonder who is that person that lives up there [00:03:10]

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

Looking nice with a ribbon in my hair[00:03:21]

And the ship [00:03:31]

The Black Freighter runs a flag up its masthead[00:03:37]

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

By noontime the dock is a swarmin' with men[00:03:54]

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

They're movin' in the shadows where no one can see[00:04:03]

And they're chainin' up people and they're bringin' 'em to me[00:04:08]

Askin' me "Kill them now or later "[00:04:12]

Askin' me "Kill them now or later "[00:04:17]

Noon by the clock and so still by the dock[00:04:28]

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

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

I'll say "Right now right now "[00:04:56]

Then they'll pile up the bodies[00:05:13]

And I'll say "That'll learn ya "[00:05:18]

And the ship [00:05:24]

The Black Freighter disappears out to sea[00:05:38]

And on it is me[00:06:02]
