This is another song I'm working on the the Rise Again Songbook. We started with the lyrics of the second DT version, but we're looking for something a bit more interesting.

Here's my transcription from The Revels Blow Ye Winds in the Morning album.

PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN

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

You pay me, you owe me
Pay me my money down
Pay me, Mr. Stevedore
Pay me my money down

If I had-a known the boss was blind...
I wouldn't'a went to work until a half past nine...

I thought I heard the Captain say...
That tomorrow will be your salary day...

If I was Mr. Alfred Jones' son...
I'd stay in the house and drink good rum...

I heard them talkin' in the deck below...
If you don't pay me, this ship won't go...

Another verse I found at http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/pay-me.html

I need my pay to go to shore;
Pay me my money down
I'll drink my whiskey and get a whore.
Pay me my money down
