Songtexte The Ferryman's Daughter - Donovan
Way
deep
down
in
a
green
wood
hole
Rap-tap-tapping
on
a
window
A
young
blade,
a
rambling
boy
Across
a
wide
river
to
go
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman
inside,
fast
asleep
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye
day
Diddly-eye,
dumb
day,
diddly-eye
day
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye,
diddly-eye
day
By
and
by
a
young
girl
came
Blinking
sleep
from
her
dark
eye
She
put
her
finger
to
her
lip
So
young
yet
not
so
shy
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
my
father's
fast
asleep
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye
day
Diddly-eye,
dumb
day,
diddly-eye
day
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye,
diddly-eye
day
I'll
tell
to
ye
a
roving
tale
Or
recite
you
a
fable
If
you
will
give
to
me
some
bread
A
little
hot
soup
if
you're
able
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
her
father,
fast
asleep
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye
day
Diddly-eye,
dumb
day,
diddly-eye
day
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye,
diddly-eye
day
She
put
on
a
cloak
of
wool
A
pair
of
fine
boots
of
deer
skin
Low
within
her
pretty
dark
eye
He
caught
a
glimpse
of
a
fair
skin
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
my
father's
fast
asleep
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye
day
Diddly-eye,
dumb
day,
diddly-eye
day
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye,
diddly-eye
day
He
laid
her
down
in
a
green
wood
hole
Squirrel
and
a
rabbit
to
scamp
her
He
sang
of
the
ancient
roving
tale
Merrily
did
enjoin
her
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
her
father,
fast
asleep
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye
day
Diddly-eye,
dumb
day,
diddly-eye
day
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye,
diddly-eye
day
They
bade
farewell
by
the
river
bank
He
looked
long
into
her
dark
eye
An
otter
splashed,
quickly
sank
Grey
lag
goes
in
the
grey
sky
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
her
father
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
her
father
The
river
is
wide,
the
river
is
deep
The
ferryman,
her
father,
fast
asleep
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye
day
Diddly-eye,
dumb
day,
diddly-eye
day
A
diddly-eye
day,
skiddly-eye,
diddly-eye
day
