EZ Ukulele 2 Chord Sea Shanty - Pay Me My Money Down - Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Kingston Trio

This week we will learn the easy to play on ukulele Sea Shanty "Pay Me My Money Down". This song only uses C and G7 so it's great for anyone to learn with the simple strumming pattern options. I also teach you a chord melody that you can play as well as a slightly more advanced strumming pattern for more seasoned players.
I am now accepting private students online if you would like to advance your playing in this style (Note prices are in Canadian Dollars) www.fourstringstrummer.ca/sho...
This song is an old traditional tune that dates back to the 1800's. Apparently some ships would sail away prior to paying the workers who had loaded the ship! So the "Pay Me My Money Down" means Pay me now and don't try and sail away!
This song has been recorded by the likes of Pete Seeger, The Kingston Trio and more recently by Bruce Springsteen.
This week's ukulele is from Ohana and is available in both Tenor TK-18OM

You’re right, Kelly, because this song is now stuck in my head! I love that it is only two chords so, hopefully, I will be successful with it. Thanks so much, Kelly!

Thanks Therese! THese are great songs to sing with other people around as so much of it is easy for people to sing along to. Ialso like Leaving of Liverpool - fun to play and a great tune as well. I'll have to put Fiddler's Green on the list!
