Karaoké Don't Pay the Ferryman 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 voices out of sight

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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

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 you must pay me now

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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

We were dead of sleep all clapped under hatches

With strange and several noises

Roaring shrieking howling jingling chains

And more diversity of sounds all horrible

We were awaked straightway at liberty

Where we in all her trim freshly beheld

Our royal good and gallant ship

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
