Tomorrow is my sailing day, Captian worked every last dollar out of me. G G pay me my money down." Pay me my money down.
Chorus: Oh, pay me. Pay me. D Pay me my money down.
Pay me or go to jail. G Pay me my money down.
G Soon as that boat was clear of the bar, D pay me my money down,
well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar G Pay me my money down.
[Chorus]
G Well if I'd been a rich mans son, D Pay me my money down.
I'd sit on the river and watch it run, G Pay me my money down.
