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
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

There are a lot of good musicians in the world; there's only one Bruce Springsteen.

[@patrickleboeuf4205]

I'm from Houma, Louisiana just 60 miles east of New Orleans. When I first heard this song it just made me want to sing and dance all over in my house. This would make a great song for the Mardi Gras festival in South Louisiana. Bruce Springsteen, if you get to read this and I hope you do. Please record more music like this. This is the best I've heard in a very long time. Thank you so much for this song.

I was blessed to see Bruce and a whole slew of musicians perform this song in 2006 during his Seeger Sessions tour at Madison Square Garden! The Universe not only allowed my boyfriend to get tickets for this show, but the ushers kept bringing us closer & closer to the stage until we were right in front of it! Maybe it was because I'm an older lady in a wheelchair or maybe I just got darn lucky. Watching the man I've seen hundreds of times at stadiums in such a personal setting was one of the best musical experiences of my life! Thank you Bruce for all the joy you've given me since I was a junior in high school back in 1975
