Bruce Springsteen Pay Me My Money Down Lyrics

Pay Me My Money Down Lyrics

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



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



(trumpet) 

well...

I wish I was Mr Gates,

Pay me my money down,

They'd haul my money in in crates,

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



Well
40 nights, nights at sea

Pay me my money down,

Captain worked every
last dollar out of me,

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



...pay me my
money down....

...pay me my money down....

...pay me my money
down....
