It was old Jerry Brown	A
Who d an office in town	A
And he used to get jocular very	B
And he d go to the Shore	C
When they d serve him no more	C
And of course by the passenger ferry	B
A sight on the passenger ferry	B
Now this is a song of the ferry	B
And a lay of the juice of the berry	B
Tis the ballad of Brown	A
Who d a business in town	A
And commenced to go down	A
Very slow	D
Don t you know	D
By coming home just a bit merry	B
	-
By the Drunks Boat that s right	E
On a Saturday night	E
He would often be past being merry	B
With his back teeth afloat	F
On the twelve o clock boat	F
And a spectacle there on the ferry	B
A picture to all on the ferry	B
	-
In the mornings ashamed	G
Twas the last drink he blamed	G
Though the first was the matter with Jerry	B
With his nerve out of joint	H
He d sneak down to Blue s Point	H
And he d cross by the horse and cart ferry	B
Like a thief by the horse and cart ferry	B
	-
But long before night	E
He d most likely be tight	E
And a subject and theme for George Perry	B
And he d cross to the Shore	C
Somewhat worse than before	C
And a nuisance to all on the ferry	B
Singing drunk on the passenger ferry	B
	-
And so it went on	I
Till his reason seemed gone	J
And the Law so it seemed got a derry	B
On Brown He went down	A
And they sent him to town	A
One day by the trap on the ferry	B
The Government trap on the ferry	B
	-
He was sober and sane	K
When he came back again	L
And the past he d determined to bury	B
Or I mean live it down	A
And he crossed from the town	A
Like a man on the passenger ferry	B
There were sceptical souls on that ferry	B
	-
They say twas the jaw	M
Of his mother in law	M
Drove him back to the juice of the berry	B
But he soon got afloat	F
On the passenger boat	F
Or adrift on the horse and cart ferry	B
Wrongly called the ve hic ular ferry	B
	-
The drink had him fast	N
And he drank till at last	N
He dried up a withered old cherry	B
And they thought him no loss	O
When they sent him across	O
In a box on the cart and horse ferry	B
In a low covered trap on the ferry	B
	-
Which I rise to explain	K
If the moral ain t plain	K
And if you re a cove that gets merry	B
Always stick when afloat	F
To the passenger boat	F
Or else to the cart and horse ferry	B
Or you ll make matters worse like old Jerry	B
	-
But this is the song of the ferry	B
And the lay of the juice of the berry	B
And you will not deny	P
If you read by and bye	P
That the casual eye	P
Of the Tight	E
At first sight	E
Misses much in the song of the ferry	B
