Pay Me My Money Down** - Bruce Sprinsten [Verse 1] A E Well, I thought I heard the captain say, "Pay me my money down. A Tomorrow is my sailing day, pay me my money down." [Chorus] Oh, pay me. Pay me. E Pay me my money down. Pay me or go to jail. A Pay me my money down. A Soon as that boat was clear of the bar, E pay me my money down, well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar A Pay me my money down. [Chorus] A Well if I'd been a rich mans son, E Pay me my money down. I'd sit on the river and watch it run, A Pay me my money down. [Chorus] [Key Change to C] C Well, wish I was Mr. Gates, G pay me my money down. Haul my money in egg crates. C Pay me my money down. [Chorus in C] [Key Returns to A] A Well, 40 nights,nights at sea, E pay me my money down. Captian worked every last dollar out of me. A Pay me my money down. [Chorus] Oh, pay me. Pay me. E Pay me my money down. Pay me or go to jail. A Pay me my money down. A Soon as that boat was clear of the bar, E pay me my money down, well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar A Pay me my money down.
