| Original Source: | LyricWiki |
| It 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 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 on board 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 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 Until he gets you to the other side | |
