Lyrics Pay Me My Money Down - The Longest Johns

Pay Me My Money Down

Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Well as soon as the boat was clear of the bar
(Pay me my money down)
The captain knocked me with a spar
(Pay me my money down)
Well, pay me (Pay me!) Pay me (Pay me!)
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Well I wish I was a rich man’s son
(Pay me my money down)
I’d sit by the river and drink dark rum (Mm!)
(Pay me my money down)
Well, pay me (Pay me!) Pay me (Pay me!)
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Well I wish I was Mr. Gates
(Pay me my money down)
They’d bring my money down in crates
(Pay me my money down)
Well, pay me (Pay me!) Pay me (Pay me!)
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
Well forty nights, nights at sea!
(Pay me my money down)
The captain bled every last dollar out of me!
(Pay me my money down)
Well, pay me (Pay me!) Pay me (Pay me!)
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
