| I thought I heard the captain say, | |
| Pay me my money down. | |
| Tomorrow is our sailing day, | |
| Pay me my money down. | |
| Chorus: Oh, pay me, oh, pay me. Pay me my money down. | |
| Pay me or go to jail. Pay me my money down. | |
| Now as soon as that boat was clear of the bar, | |
| Pay me my money down, | |
| Well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar Pay me my money down. | |
| (Chorus) | |
| 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. | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Well, 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. | |
| (Chorus, twice) |
| I thought I heard the captain say, | |
| Pay me my money down. | |
| Tomorrow is our sailing day, | |
| Pay me my money down. | |
| Chorus: Oh, pay me, oh, pay me. Pay me my money down. | |
| Pay me or go to jail. Pay me my money down. | |
| Now as soon as that boat was clear of the bar, | |
| Pay me my money down, | |
| Well, he knocked me down with the end of a spar Pay me my money down. | |
