《Pirate Jenny(Live At Carnegie Hall， New York， 1964)》歌词

[00:00:00] Pirate Jenny - Nina Simone

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:31] Then one night theres a scream in the night

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

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

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

[00:00:49] Ill tell you

[00:00:53] Theres a ship

[00:00:59] The black freighter

[00:01:03] With a skull on its masthead

[00:01:07] Will be coming in

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

[00:01:19] Get upstairs whats wrong with you earn your keep here

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

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

[00:01:26] But Im counting your heads

[00:01:28] As Im making the beds

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

[00:01:39] Nobody

[00:01:42] Nobody

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

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

[00:01:57] And ya see me kinda starin out the winda

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

[00:02:08] Ill tell ya

[00:02:11] Theres a ship

[00:02:17] The black freighter

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

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

[00:02:36] Now

[00:02:37] You gentlemen can wipe off that smile off your face

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

[00:02:44] This whole frickin place will be down to the ground

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

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

[00:02:55] Yes

[00:02:56] Thats what you say

[00:02:58] Why do they spare that one

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

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

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

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

[00:03:32] And the ship

[00:03:37] The black freighter

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

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

[00:03:54] By noontime the dock

[00:03:58] Is a-swarmin with men

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:13] Askin me

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

[00:04:17] Askin me

[00:04:21] Kill them now or later

[00:04:28] Noon by the clock

[00:04:34] And so still by the dock

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

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

[00:04:57] Ill say right now

[00:05:04] Right now

[00:05:14] Then theyll pile up the bodies

[00:05:18] And Ill say

[00:05:20] Thatll learn ya

[00:05:24] And the ship

[00:05:39] The black freighter

[00:05:49] Disappears out to sea

[00:06:03] And

[00:06:05] On

[00:06:07] It

[00:06:11] Is

[00:06:13] Me
