[C/] I thought I hear the Captain say, pay me my [G7/] money down
Tomorrow is our sailing day, pay me my [C/] money down.
[Chorus]
[C] Pay me, pay me, pay me my [G7] money down
Pay me or go to jail.., pay me my [C] money down
[C] Soon as the boat was clear of the bar, pay me [G7] money down
He knocked me down with the end of a spar, pay me my [G] money down
Chorus:
[C] Pay me, pay me, pay me my [G7] money down
Pay me or go to jail.., pay me my [C] money down
[C] If I'd been a rich man's son, pay me my [G7] money down
I'd sit on the river and watch it run, pay me my [C] money down
Chorus:
[C] Pay me, pay me, pay me my [G7] money down
Pay me or go to jail.., pay me my [C] money down [C] [1.2.3.4.]

[D] Well I wish I was Mr Gates, pay me my [A] money down
I'd haul my money round in crates, pay me my [D] money down
