It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run.
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He was closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind;
Yes, there's the ragged hill
and there's the boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl?
There were voices in the night Don't do it!
Voices out of sight Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before!
Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side!
In the rolling mist, he gets on board
Now there l be no turning back..
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder.
And then the lightening flashed
and the thunder rolled -
And people calling out his name name name
And dancing bones that jabbered
and a-moaned on the water.
And then the ferryman said,
There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now. Don't do it!
ou must pay me now! Don't do it!
And still that voice came from beyond!
hatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman?
Until he gets you to the other side!
Don't pay the ferryman!
