Ferry Me Across The Water

Ferry Me Across The Water
 
“Ferry me across the water,
     Do, boatman, do.”
“If you’ve a penny in your purse
     I’ll ferry you.”
 
“I have a penny in my purse,
     And my eyes are blue;
So ferry me across the water,
     Do, boatman, do.”
 
“Step into my ferry-boat,
     Be they black or blue,
And for the penny in your purse
     I’ll ferry you.”
