Lyrics
Chorus:
Pay me, oh pay me,
Pay me my money down,
Pay me or go to jail!
Pay me my money down.

Verse:
I thought I heard the captain say,
Pay me my money down,
“Tomorrow is our sailing day”.
Pay me my money down.

Verse:
The very next day we cleared the bar,
Pay me my money down,
He knocked me down with the end of a spar,
Pay me my money down.

Verse:
I wish I was Mr. Howard’s son,
Pay me my money down,
Sit in the house and drink good rum,
Pay me my money down.

Verse:
I wish I was Mr. Steven’s son,
Pay me my money down,
Sit on the bank and watch the work done,
Pay me my money down.
