[03:32.15]And the ship
[03:37.76]The black freighter
[03:42.48]Runs a flag up its masthead
[03:45.24]And a cheer rings the air

[03:58.01]Is a-swarmin with men
[03:59.77]Comin out from the ghostly freighter
[04:03.77]They move in the shadows
[04:06.60]Where no one can see
[04:08.61]And theyre chainin up people
[04:10.93]And theyre bringin em to me
