Lyrics
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
As soon as the boat was clear of the bar
Pay me my money down
He knocked me down with the end of 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 it 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
Well I wish I was mr. gates
Pay me my money down
Carry all that money in 'em 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
Well, forty nights, and nights at sea
Pay me my money down
That captain worked every last dollar outta 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
