I thought I heard the first mate say
Pay me my money down
Tomorrow is our sailing day
Pay me my money down(CHORUS)
Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money downSoon as that boat cleared the bar
Pay me my money down
Buson hit me with a spar
Pay me my money down(CHORUS)
Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money downIf I was 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(CHORUS)
Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money downAfter forty days and nights at sea
Pay me my money down
They worked every penny outta me
Pay me my money down(CHORUS)
Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money downI thought I heard the first mate say
Pay me my money down
Men lay aft and draw your pay
Pay me my money down(CHORUS)
Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money downSoon as my feet touched the shore
Pay me my money down
I swore I'd go to sea not more
Pay me my money down(CHORUS) X2
Pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
