I was late at night on the open road

Speeding like a man on the run

A lifetime spent preparing for the journey

He is closer now, as the search is on

Reading from a map in the mind

Yes, there s that rugged hill and there s a 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,

CHORUS:

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 as he gets on board

Now there ll be no turning back

Beware that hooded old man at the rudder

And the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled

And people calling out his 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)

"You must pay me now" (don t do it)

And still that voice came from beyond: "whatever you do,

CHORUS

[ ]   [ ] 

Repeat intro

   Yea....

CHORUS

CHORUS

Don t pay...   The Ferry-man!
