Lyrics:

Well, I thought I heard the captain say
(Pay me my money down)
Tomorrow is our sailing day
(Pay me my money down)
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Soon as the boat was clear of the bar
Pay me money down
He knocked me down with a spar
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down


Well, if I'd been a rich man's son
Pay me my money down
I'd sit on the river and watch her run
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Come on, Charlie

One, two

Wish I was Mr. Gates
Pay me my money down
They'd haul my money in in crates
Pay me my money down
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Alright, Charles

Ready over here?
Is everybody ready way in the back?
Go ahead, Sam
That's right

One, two
One, two

Well, 40 nights, nights at sea
(Pay me my money down)
Captain worked every last dollar out of me
(Pay me my money down)
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
(Pay me my money down)
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
(Pay me my money down)
Come on, let's here ya
(Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down)
(Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down)
(Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down)
