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.
