Lyrics:

Well, I thought I heard a captain say, 'Pay me my money down. Tomorrow is my sailing day, pay me my money down'

Oh, pay me. Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Soon as that boat was clear of the bar
Pay me my money down, well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar
Pay me my money down

Oh, pay me. Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Wish I was Sherman Adamson, pay me my money down
Get a coke and watch the fun. Pay me my money down

Oh, pay me. Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Wish I was Erv Jellison, pay me my money down
Fly away and have some fun. Pay me my money down

Oh, pay me. Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down

Oh, pay me. Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
