I thought I heard our 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 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
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
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 Steven's son
Pay me my money down,
Sit on the bank and watch the work done,
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
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 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
I wish I was Mr Howard's son,
Pay me my money down,
