This song was recorded for the reasons listed above, but you failed to mention a few parts. The song is borrowed greatly from Celtic Sailor's myth. Throughout such tales there are plenty of stories of [un]dead pirate and sailor captains who are immortal, ever heard the phrase Davy Jones' Locker (which refers to the very bottom of the ocean)...yeah, Jones was Scottish. Anyhow, the debt is collected by a servant, who typically is already dead and carries a "shadow" on their back (Meaning a curse) and is sent to collect the debt from whomever still has not paid, dead or alive. These such stories go back centuries in Celtic mythology as does the "Woman with a comb in her hand" which refers to a Banshee, a type of faerie spirit from Ireland (or sometimes Scotland) who forewarns someone of a death by singing a song of mourning and typically carries a silver comb.
