FERRY BOAT INN, THE
Jimmy Campbell & Don Pelosi   1950

as rec by The Beverley Sisters  1950


Down at The Ferry Boat Inn,
Everybody's making merry;
Down at The Ferry Boat Inn,
Waiting for the river ferry.

Everyone joins in the song
When papa plays his mandolin.
Fill up your glasses and let's be gay,
Sing your blues away,
Tarara-boom-de-ay!
Give all your troubles a holiday,
Down at The Ferry Boat Inn.

Down at The Ferry Boat Inn,
Everybody's making merry;
Down at The Ferry Boat Inn,
Waiting for the river ferry.

When papa plays his mandolin.
Fill up your glasses and let's be gay,
Sing your blues away.
Give all your troubles a holiday,
Down at The Ferry Boat Inn.

Down at The Ferry Boat Inn,
Waiting for the river ferry.

Everyone joins in the song
When papa plays his mandolin.
Fill up your glasses and let's be gay,
Sing your blues away,
Tarara-boom-de-ay!
Give all your troubles a holiday,
Down at The Ferry, whoopee!, Inn.
