Live 17 Nov 2006 version
Well I thought I heard the captain say
Pay me my money down
Tomorrow is our sailing day
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
Soon as the boat was clear of the bar
Pay me money down
He knocked me down with a spar
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
Well if I'd been a rich man's son
Pay me my money down
I'd sit on the river and watch her run
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
Come on, Charlie!
One, two
Wish I was Mr. Gates
Pay me my money down
They'd haul my money in in crates
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
Alright, Charles!
Ready over here?
Is everybody ready way in the back?
Pay me my money down
Go ahead Sam!
Pay me, that's right! Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail (One, two)
Pay me my money down
One, two
Well forty nights, nights at sea
(Pay me my money down)
Captain worked every last dollar out of me
(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)
Pay me, (Pay me
Pay me my money down)
Pay me or go to jail
(Pay me my money down)
Come on, let's here ya!
(Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
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)
(Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
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
Pay me, pay me
Pay me my money down
Pay me or go to jail
Pay me my money down
The above lyrics are for the live 17 Nov 2006 performance of O MARY DON'T YOU WEEP at Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, during The Seeger Sessions Tour. The parts in bold are sung by the crowd. The live 17 Nov 2006 version of PAY ME MY MONEY DOWN was released on the Live In Dublin album and home video in 2007.
At the end of the Seeger Sessions Tour, the three-night stand at Point Theater in Dublin, Ireland, (17-18-19 Nov 2006) was filmed with nine High Definition cameras. A selection of 23 songs from these three nights was officially released on 05 Jun 2007 on the Live In Dublin album and home video, credited to "Bruce Springsteen With The Sessions Band". "Seeger" was dropped from the band's name for this release, apparently due to the fact that many of the songs are Springsteen originals from his earlier records, or covers that are not related to Pete Seeger.
Live In Dublin is available in four formats: 2-CD set, standard DVD, 2-CD/1-DVD combo set, and Blu-ray disc.
The album charted in several countries, but only made it to #1 in Ireland.

| Ireland | 1 | |

| Sweden | 2 | |

The video was edited by Emmy- and Grammy-winner Thom Zimny, with audio mixed by Bob Clearmountain (including 5.1 surround) and mastered by Bob Ludwig.
