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?br />There were voices in the night: �Don�t do it!?br />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?br />Until he gets you to the other side!?br />
In the rolling mist, he gets on board ?br />Now there�ll 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?br />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!
�You must 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?br />Until he gets you to the other side!?br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don�t pay the ferryman!
Don�t even fix a price!
Don�t pay the ferryman?br />Until he gets you to the other side!
Don�t pay the ferryman!
Don�t even fix a price!
Don�t pay the ferryman?br />Until he gets you to the other side!
Don�t pay the ferryman!
Don�t even fix a price!
Don�t pay the ferryman?br />Until he gets you to the other side!
Don�t pay�the ferryman!
