Westport Ferry Lyrics
I went a backassed way to Berkley
When I rode the Westport Ferry
I should've known it would change my life
When I rode the Westport Ferry
What did I do aboard the boat,
On the Westport Ferry
I wrapped warm bodies in plastic wrap
On the Westport Ferry
The current is mighty and the channel is steep
Around the Westport Ferry
Think of how many brilliant men were lost in that murky deep
Around the Westport Ferry
I will float again
When they're done dredging
That stubborn crowd won't disperse
'Til that barge becomes a hearse
When I rode the Westport Ferry
I should've known it would change my life
When I rode the Westport Ferry
What did I do aboard the boat,
On the Westport Ferry
I wrapped warm bodies in plastic wrap
On the Westport Ferry
The current is mighty and the channel is steep
Around the Westport Ferry
Think of how many brilliant men were lost in that murky deep
Around the Westport Ferry
I will float again
When they're done dredging
That stubborn crowd won't disperse
'Til that barge becomes a hearse
