Master Bates Posted 1 May, 2009 Share Posted 1 May, 2009 (edited) That old Woolston Ferry coming towards me, Coming for to carry me home . . . If you're ever out in Sholing And you want to go to town Don't you go via Bitterne That's the long way round Take a trip across the ferry Take a trip across the sea And if you're a pedestrian, you can go for free . . Guess i'll finish off then On the Woolston Ferry It doesn't travel very fast It was never built for comfort It was built to last On two steel hauses Across the river it'll creep The steel glints in the sunlight And flops back into the deep And from the deck of the ferry What a wonderful sight All they shipwrights grafting At Thorneycrofts on the right On the Woolston Ferry It doesn't travel very fast It was never built for comfort It was built to last Go and see Lowry's painting In the art gallery Of this wonderful relic of a past centruy When I sing of its construction You'll be surprised to learn That the bow going one way Coming back becomes the stern! On the Woolston Ferry It doesn't travel very fast It was never built for comfort It was built to last See the weather-beaten captain With his weather-beaten tan He don't wear no gold braid He's a corporation man And the captains of the ferry They're a dying race Cos there ain't no ex-tram drivers To go and take their place On the Woolston Ferry It doesn't travel very fast It was never built for comfort It was built to last But the floating bridge has had it They say it's got to go Cos the motorists don't like it At 15p a throw So they build a bridge of concrete Very modern, very high But every time I use it I look down on either side . . . On the Woolston Ferry It doesn't travel very fast It was never built for comfort It was built to last, to last Edited 1 May, 2009 by Master Bates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
