CHORUS:

(But, Then) A little bitty tear let me down,
spoiled my act as a clown.
I had it made up not to make a frown,
oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.
 
#1.

When you said you were leaving tomorrow,
that today was our last day,
I said there'd be no sorrow,
that I'd  laugh when you walked away.
 
CHORUS:

I said I'd laugh when you left me,
pull a funny as you went out the door..
that I'd have another one waitin',
I'd wave good..bye as you go..But..
 
CHORUS:

#3.

Everything went like I planned it,
and I really put on quite a show.
In my heart I felt I could stand it,
Til you walked with your grip through the door.

Switch Notes whenever you say "Money".  In the future, when I get better, play around with changing the Key note mid-song.

[Verse 1]

Well, I thought I heard the captain say, "Pay me my money down.
Tomorrow is my sailing day, pay me my money down."
 
[Chorus]
 
Oh, pay me. Pay me. Pay me my money down.
Pay me or go to jail. Pay me my money down.

[Verse 2]

Soon as that boat was clear of the bar, pay me my money down,
The Captain knocked me with a spar, Pay me my money down.
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I wish I was a rich mans son, Pay me my money down.
I'd sit in the river and drink some rum, Pay me my money down.
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]

Well, wish I was Mr. Gates, pay me my money down.
They’d haul my cash around in crates. Pay me my money down.

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

Well, 40 days and,nights at sea, pay me my money down.
They worked dollar out of me. Pay me my money down.

[Verse 1]

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle an' blood
Muscle an' blood an' skin an' bone
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong
 
[Chorus]

You load sixteen tons an' what do ya get?
Another day older an' deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't ya call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
 
[Verse 2]

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
Picked up my shovel and I went to the mine
Loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
The straw boss said, "Well, Bless my soul!"
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
Raised in a cave by an old mama lion
Ain't no high-tone woman make me walk the line
 
[Chorus]
 
[Verse 4]

If ya see me coming ya better step aside
A lotta men didn't and a lotta men died
With one fist of iron an' the other of steel
If the right one don't get ya then the left one will
 
[Chorus]
