Don't Pay The Ferryman Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

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" 

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
