The Ferryman
One misty morning, dreamin'
She came a stepping down to the landing
Sorrow upon her seeming
She came down, she came down
To where I was standing
And she said "Ferry man
I must cross the water
You have a boat to carry me over
O'er the lake, 'ere I be
Where he waits, where he waits
Where my true love waits for me
Tears in her eyes were gleaming
Pale was her face a shrouded in darkness
My arm about her leaning
As I lifted her down from the stony staircase
And she said "Ferry man, I vowed to my lover
I'd find a boat to carry me over
Where he waits to be free
And she stepped from the boat
She looked back, back
And she stole my heart from me
And the thundered air flew over the hill
And the lightning cracked the glassy still
And the church bell tolled
It's ghostly sound
And I knew, to her I'm bound
I'm bound
One misty morning, early
The people of the town came down to the landing
Anger upon them. Surly
They came down, they came down
To where I was standing and they said
"Ferry man, she crossed the water
You had a boat to carry her over
Now she lies
Dead on the grave of her love
Come away, come away
For you will meet today
One misty morning dreamin'
She came a stepping down to the landing
Sorrow upon her seaming
She came down, she came down
To where I was standing
And she said "Ferry man
I must cross the water
You have a boat to carry us over
O'er the lake, to be free
Now she waits, now she waits
My true love waits for me
She came a stepping down to the landing
Sorrow upon her seeming
She came down, she came down
To where I was standing
And she said "Ferry man
I must cross the water
You have a boat to carry me over
O'er the lake, 'ere I be
Where he waits, where he waits
Where my true love waits for me
Tears in her eyes were gleaming
Pale was her face a shrouded in darkness
My arm about her leaning
As I lifted her down from the stony staircase
And she said "Ferry man, I vowed to my lover
I'd find a boat to carry me over
Where he waits to be free
And she stepped from the boat
She looked back, back
And she stole my heart from me
And the thundered air flew over the hill
And the lightning cracked the glassy still
And the church bell tolled
It's ghostly sound
And I knew, to her I'm bound
I'm bound
One misty morning, early
The people of the town came down to the landing
Anger upon them. Surly
They came down, they came down
To where I was standing and they said
"Ferry man, she crossed the water
You had a boat to carry her over
Now she lies
Dead on the grave of her love
Come away, come away
For you will meet today
One misty morning dreamin'
She came a stepping down to the landing
Sorrow upon her seaming
She came down, she came down
To where I was standing
And she said "Ferry man
I must cross the water
You have a boat to carry us over
O'er the lake, to be free
Now she waits, now she waits
My true love waits for me
