You people can while I'm scrubbin' these floors And I'm scrubbin' the floors you're gawking Maybe once you tip me and it makes you feel In this crummy town, in this crummy old hotel But you'll never to who you're talkin' No, you couldn't ever guess to who talkin'
Then one night, there's a in the night And you'll wonder who that have been And you see me kinda while I'm scrubbin' And you say, "What's she got to grin?"
I'll tell you, there's a ship, the Black With a skull on its masthead will be in
You gentlemen can say, "Hey gal, them floors" "Get upstairs, what's with you, earn your keep here" You me your tips and look out to the ships But I'm your heads as I'm making the beds there's nobody gonna sleep here Tonight, nobody's sleep here, honey Nobody,
one night there's a scream in the night And you say, "Who's that up a row?" And you see me kinda out the window And you say, "What's she got to at now?"
I'll you, there's a ship, the Black Freighter Turns around in the harbor, shootin' guns her bow
Now you gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your 'Cause every building in is a flat one This freakin' place will be down to the ground Only this hotel standing up safe and sound And you yell, "Why do they spare one?" Yes, that's what you say, "Why do spare that one?"
All the night through, through the noise and You wonder, "Who is person that lives up there?" And you see me stepping out in the Looking nice with a in my hair
And the ship, the Black Runs a flag up its masthead and a cheer the air
By noontime the is a-swarmin' with men out from the ghostly freighter They move in the shadows no one can see And they're chainin' up people and bringin' em to me Askin' me, "Kill now or later?" me, "Kill them now or later?"
Noon by the clock and so by the dock You can hear a foghorn away And in that of death, I'll say "Right now, now"
Then pile up the bodies And I'll say, "That'll ya" And the ship, the Freighter out to sea and on it is me
