Lyrics

I’m on my way back home
To take a short cut for some
To see what we can see
And what ever we might find 
Because yes I’d rather walk than ride 
Then acrossing  the river to the other side 
Across the river wide
Across the river side

Ferry crossing the cable wide my friend
Crossing over the river wide
Crossing over the river wide my friend
Crossing to the other side 
Yes, crossing to the other side 
Yes, crossing over to the river side my friend
Yes, crossing over the river wide
 
There’s much trouble brewing far but near
A site full detour from the norm
Back tracking to a point so near and so clear
Crossing over the river wide 
So close from A to B so clear
When we’ve reached the river side 
But… How to cross to B came so clear
Yah Just cross to the other side

The turbulent waters from down so low 
Crossing over the river wide my dear
Crossing over the river side
Yes, crossing over the river wide 
So, get on home just pay the dues
A ferry hand pulley ride
To cross to the other side my friend
Yes crossing over the river wide

There’s so much happening here 
Just hop on board the netted bottom dear
And we’ll be home before too long
A trinket no counting change on board
Just crossing the river wide
Crossing over the river side my dear
Just crossing over the river wide

The mighty roar, look on down far below 
Hold on tightly for safety sake 
So much for the acrophobia huh
And so much for aquaphobia too
So, sit right back and hold on tight with knuckles white
Just crossing over the river wide 
Crossing over the river side 

And if your heart leaps or skips a beat
While crossing over the river wide 
It’ll be a blessing to get to the other side
Safe and sound what a ride 
Looking back now I’ve crossed to the other side
Crossing over the river wide my friend
Crossing over to the other side 
Yes, crossing to the other side my dear
Crossing over the river wide yes, wide my friend
Crossing over the river wide, other side
Crossing over the river wide
Yes, crossing over from the other side.
