Pirate Jenny Lyrics

You gentlemen can watch while I scrubbing the floor and I'm scrubbing the floor while your gawk'n. Maybe once you tiped me and it made you feel swell in a rattie water front in this rattie old hotel.

But you never know to who your talk'n, you never know to who your talk'n.

Suddenly one night there'a a scream in the night and you yell what the hell could that have been. And you see me kind of grinning while I'm scrubbing and you say what's she got to grin?

And the ship a black freighter with a skull on it's masthead will be coming in.

Then you gentlemen can say hay girl finish the floor get upstairs make the beds earn your keep here. You toss me your tips and look out the ships, but I'm counting your heads while I make up the beds.

Cause there noboby gonna sleep here, no tonite none of you will sleep here.

Then that night there's a bang in the night and you yell who's that kick'n round. Then you see me kinda stare'n out the window, and you what she got to stare at now.

And the ship a black freighter turns around in the harbor shoot'n guns from the bow.

Then you gentlemen can wipe off the laughs from your face every building in town in a flat one, your whole stinking place will be down to the ground only this cheap hotel standing up safe and sound. Judy Collins - Pirate Jenny - http://motolyrics.com/judy-collins/pirate-jenny-lyrics.html

And you ask why do they spare that one,and you ask why do they spare that one.

All night through with the nose and to-do you wonder who's the person lives up there, then you see me stepping out in the morn'n looking nice with a ribbon in my hair.

And the ship the black freighter runs a flag up its masthead and a cheer rings the air.

By noon time the dock is all swarm'n with men coming off of that ghostly frater, and they are moving in the shodows where no one can see their chaining up people and bring'n to me.

Ask'n me kill them now or later, ask'n me kill them now or later.

Loomed by the clock and so still on the dock, You can here the fog horns miles away in that quite of death I'll say, right now.

And they'l pile up the bodies and I'll say that'll learn ya.

And the ship the black freighter disaperes out to sea and on it is me.
