Pay Me My Money Down

This song and the others in this album - The Seeger Sessions - are an an unusual example of Bruce Springsteen playing someone else's material.

This one is a foot-tapping, sing-along, folksy, fun song with recordings dating as far back as the 1950s. But I guess the reference to 'Mr Gates' and 'haul money in crates' is the Boss' variation. There are a few of nice stretches of solo instruments: violins, a trumpet (very short) and an accordion (nice long one).

Enjoy, the Boss:
