 G 
Well, I thought I heard the captain say, 
             D 
"Pay me my money down. 

Tomorrow is my sailing day, 
            G 
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.

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.

Well, wish I was Mr. Gates, 
            F

Haul my money in egg crates.

Pay me my money down. 

  G 
Well, 40 nights,nights at sea, 
            D 
pay me my money down. 

Captian worked every last dollar out of me.

Pay me my money down.
