In the ^Grolling mist as he ^Emgets on board ^GNow there'll be no turning ^Cback Beware that ^Ghooded ^Cold man ^Gat the ^Drudder And the ^Glightning flashed and the ^Emthunder rolled And ^Gpeople calling out his ^Cname And dancing ^Gbones that ^Cjabbered and a-^Gmoaned on the ^Dwater

And t^Emhen the ferry^Emman^D said T^Emhere is troub^Dle ahead So ^Cyou must pay me ^Gnow don't do it ^CYou must pay me ^Gnow don't do it ^CAnd still that voice came from ^Bbeyond whatever you do

^EmDon't ^Dpay the ^Emferryman ^EmDon't ^Deven ^Emfix a ^Cprice ^D ^EmDon't ^Dpay the ^Emferryman U^Cntil he gets you^D to th^Eme other side
