Ferryman Lyrics by Shayfer James

Shipwreck

2022

[Intro: Will Wood]
Row, row down the stream
This is not a dream
Row, row down the stream
The ferryman only deals in cash
[Verse 1: Shayfer James]
Joe met Daisy on the Day of the Dead
When he woke up, drunk and handcuffed
To a dirty double bed
She said, "Joe, you should be wary of
The women you pretend to love"
Then she wrapped a plastic bag around his head
Joe met Daisy on the Day of the Dead
[Chorus: Shayfer James]
Oh, your time is comin' fast
And the ferryman only deals in cash
Oh, your time is comin' fast
And the ferryman only deals in, the ferryman only deals in cash
[Verse 2: Shayfer James]
Ben met Gary at a backroom game of pool
When he caught him pettin' heavy
With a boy from Baton Rouge
He said, "Ben, you should've learned by now
I'm not a fan of fuckin' around!"
Then he beat him with a bottle and a cue
Ben met Gary at a back room game of pool
[Chorus: Shayfer James, Will Wood, Both]
Oh, your time is coming fast (Row, row down the stream)
And the ferryman only deals in cash (This is not a dream)
Oh, your time is coming fast (Row, row down the stream)
And the ferryman only deals in, the ferryman only deals in cash
[Bridge: Will Wood]
Never again can be innocent
And everything ends, well, it just makes sense
If up has a down there's another side
In there's an out so it's worth a try
People want each other but they want themselves more
Even when your lover's something new to live for
It's to die for, therefore to kill for
Black has white so go to the light, my love
[Verse 3: Shayfer James]
Jane met Ginger over dinner in July
Ginger said that she'd forgive her
For the secrets and the lies
So they drank a toast for days to come
And the Devil spoke with Ginger's tongue
"Oh, I hope you like champagne with cyanide!"
Jane met Ginger over dinner in July
[Chorus: Shayfer James, Will Wood, Both]
Oh, your time is coming fast (Row, row down the stream)
And the ferryman only deals in cash (This is not a dream)
Oh, your time is coming fast (Row, row down the stream)
And the ferryman only deals in, the ferryman only deals in
Oh, your time is coming fast (Row, row down the stream)
And the ferryman only deals in cash (This is not a dream)
Oh, your time is coming fast (Row, row down the stream)
And the ferryman only deals in, the ferryman only deals in cash!
Shh!
