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