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. | |
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. | |

Well, I wish I was Mr. Steven' s son | |
