Pay Me My Money Down |
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
Com'on!
Well if I'd been a rich man's son
Pay me my money down
I'd sit on the river and watch 'er 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
Horn!
Lets hear the trumpet!
Alright everybody,
Let's bring it up to B flat
A one two three!
Well I 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 somebody
Yello!
Yip!
Woha!
Go!
Come on!
Trumpet!
Once more trumpet!
Woah!
Alright now!
Back to G
A one two, a one two three
Yeah!
Well fourty 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
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Everybody solo!
Woah!
Woah!
Woah!
