Pay Me from Pirates' Gold by The Jolly Rogers

You pay me, you owe me!
Pay me my money now!
You gots to pay me, mister stevedore!
Pay me my money now!
If I‟d known the boss was blind,
Pay me my money now!
I wouldn‟t have gone to work „till half past nine!
Pay me my money now!
[CHORUS2]
You pay me, you owe me!
Pay me my money now!
You gots to pay me or go to jail!
Pay me my money now!
Thought I heard, the old man say,
Pay me my money now!
Go to shore, spend all your pay!
Pay me my money now!
[CHORUS1]
Thought I heard, the men below,
Pay me my money now!
If you don‟t pay me, the ship won‟t go!
Pay me my money now!
[CHORUS2]
I need my pay, to go to shore,
Pay me my money now!
I‟ll drink my whiskey and get a whore!
Pay me my money now!
[CHORUS1]
[CHORUS3]
You owe me, you owe me!
Pay me my money now!
You gots to pay me or go to jail!
Pay me my money now!
Abso-floggin’-lute-ly!
