I scanned a freighter, all laden with loot
Its engines were struggling, and unarmed to boot
I said to me maties, we will take this fine prize
Our Steel Shadows will be its demise

Yo-Ho the Shadows come home
Run down the freighter and we make it so
Yo-Ho the Shadows come home
Steel in these Shadows we roam

We ran for the freighter, our engines were hot
It turned to escape, but jump it did not
An ion blast did cripple its drives
We fell soon upon it, with vibro knives

Yo-Ho the Shadows come home
Run down the freighter and we make it so
Yo-Ho the Shadows come home
Steel in these Shadows we roam

We carved up the booty, each got his share
And we told the ship's captain, we would treat him fair
He kept his mouth shut and we let him go
More freighters kept coming down that star road

Yo-Ho the Shadows come home
Run down the freighter and we make it so
Yo-Ho the Shadows come home
Steel in these Shadows we roam
