Lyrics
ferryman
build me a raft
of long dark trees
cross salt water
o'er the deep blue sea
chorus: ain't it just like ye know
whither ye go
ain't it just like ye know
river flow
build me a raft
ferryman, ferrym an
build me a raft
fast as ye can
chorus: ain't it just like you know
whither ye go
ain't it just like ye know
river flow
round and around
river slow down
touch me the ground
I'll make no sound
chorus: ain't it just like ye know
whither ye go
ain't it just like ye know
river flow
