Pay Me the Money Down

Pay me, O pay me the money down
Pay me the money down;
Pay me, O pay me the money down
Pay me the money down;

I went for a cruise, boys, around the town
And there met a young gal called Sally Brown

I put me arm around her waist,
She says, "Young man, you're in great haste."

That fancy girl, she says to me
"I don't give my love for free."

"Oh the price of my love is half a crown
Pay me, O pay me the money down."

That girl she says to me one day,
"You've had your fun so don't delay."

"Oh money, young man, is the object of me
And you won't get my love for free."

She said, "Me son, you'll rue the day
The girls have worn your pride away."
