Don't Pay The Ferryman

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, then he gets onboard

Now, there'll be no turning back

Beware that hooded old man at the rudder

And then the lightning flashed and the thunder roared

And people calling out his name

And dancing bones that jabbered and moaned on the water

And then the ferryman said

There is trouble ahead

So you must pay me now

Don't do it

You much pay me now

Don't do it

And still, that voice came from beyond

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

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
