Just to Ferry Me Over
By Will Scott (BMI) and Scrote (Teddy Spunko Music, BMI) © 2011
 
This river is deep but it’s not wide
Just to ferry me over
I ain’t ready for the other side
Just to bear across
 
Michael don’t row this boat of mine
Just to ferry me over
Go on ahead and leave me behind
Just to bear across
 
Momma tell me what’s this body for
Just to ferry me over
Suffer and cry and then cast ashore
Just to bear across
 
The jury it says I have to go
Just to ferry me over
What might have been I’ll never know
Just to bear across
 
I’ll miss my momma’s long brown hair
Just to ferry me over
They won’t have nothing like it there
Just to bear across
 
Bury my body for none to find
Just to ferry me over
I won’t be there and I won’t mind
Just to bear across
 
Momma tell me what’s this body for
Just to ferry me over
I ain’t worth nothing more
Just to bear across
