Pay Me My Money Down
First verse and Refrain
You pay me, you owe me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Verses - call (and response)
I thought I heard the captain say (pay me my money down)
Tomorrow's goin' to be our sailing day (" ")
I heard them talkin' in the decks below (" ")
If we don't get paid this ship won't go (" ")
If I had known that the boss was blind (" ")
I wouldn't have started workin' 'til half past nine (" ")
If I was the boss' son (" ")
I'd just sit in the shade 'til the work was done (" ")
