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 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 I wish I was Mr. Gates Pay me my money down They'd haul my money in a crate 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 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 my money down Pay me my money down Pay me my money down Pay me my money down Pay me my money down
