Pay Me My Money Down

Bruce Springsteen


Tom: G

G 
I thought I heard the Captain say, 
           D 
Pay me my money down, 
Tomorrow is our sailing day, 
           G 
Pay me my money down 
Oh pay me, oh pay me, 
           D 
Pay me my money down, 
Pay me or go to jail, 
           G 
Pay me my money down 

As soon as the boat was clear of the bar, 
Pay me my money down, 
The captain knocked me down with a spar, 
Pay me my money down 

Oh pay me, oh pay me, 
Pay me my money down, 
Pay me or go to jail, 
Pay me my money down 

If I'd been a rich man's son, 
Pay me my money down, 
I'd sit on the river and watch it run, 
Pay me my money down 

Oh pay me, oh pay me, 
Pay me my money down, 
Pay me or go to jail, 
Pay me my money down
