Pay Me My Money Down

• Music: Trad: Georgia Sea Islands
• New words: Cynthia Cockburn

When times are hard the gov­’­ment choose,
Pay me my mon­ey down
Who will gain and who will lose,
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.

The cor­po­ra­tions trade offshore,
Pay me my mon­ey down
They pay no tax so we pay more,
Pay me my mon­ey down.

The NHS is not for sale
Pay me my mon­ey down
We’ll fight those Tories tooth snd nail,
Pay me my mon­ey down.

Now they’ve deferred retire­ment age,
Pay me my mon­ey down
I earned my pen­sion with my wage,
Pay me my mon­ey down.
