I thought I heard the Captain say

Pay me my money down

Tomorrow is our sailing day

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

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

I wish I was Mr. Steven's son

Pay me my money down

Sit in the shade and watch the work done

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

I wish I was Mr. Howard's son

Pay me my money down

Sit in the shade and drink good rum

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

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