《Runcorn Ferry》歌词

[00:00:09] On the banks of the mersey over on cheshire side
[00:00:12] Lies runcorn that's best known to fame
[00:00:16] By transporter Bridge as takes folks over t'stream
[00:00:20] Or else brings them back across same
[00:00:23] In days afore transporter bridge were put up
[00:00:26] A ferryboat lay in the slip
[00:00:29] And old ted the boatman would row folks across
[00:00:33] At per tuppence per person per trip
[00:00:37] Now runcorn lay over on one side of stream
[00:00:40] And widnes on t'other side stood
[00:00:43] And as nobody wanted to go either place
[00:00:47] Well the trade wasn't any too good
[00:00:51] One evening to ted's superlative surprise
[00:00:55] Three customers came into view
[00:00:58] A Mr and Mrs ramsbottom it were
[00:01:01] And albert their little son too
[00:01:05] How much for the three Mr Ramsbottom asked
[00:01:08] As his hand to his pocket did dip
[00:01:12] Ted said same for three as it would be for one
[00:01:16] Per tuppence per person per trip
[00:01:20] You're not charging tuppence for that little lad
[00:01:23] Said mother her eyes flashing wild
[00:01:27] Per tuppence per person per trip answered ted
[00:01:31] Per woman per man or per child
[00:01:35] Fivepence for three that's the most that I'll pay
[00:01:39] Said father don't waste time in talk
[00:01:43] Per tuppence per person per trip answered ted
[00:01:46] And them as can't pay as to walk
[00:01:51] We can walk an all said father come mother
[00:01:54] It's none so deep weather's quite mild
[00:01:58] So into the water the three of them stepped
[00:02:01] The father the mother the child
[00:02:05] The further they paddled the deeper it got
[00:02:08] But they wouldn't give in once begun
[00:02:12] In the spirit that's made lancashire what she is
[00:02:16] They'd sooner be drownded than done
[00:02:20] Very soon the old people were up to their necks
[00:02:24] And the little lad clean out of sight
[00:02:28] Said father where's albert and mother replied
[00:02:33] I've got hold of his hand he's all right
[00:02:37] Well just at that moment pa got an idea
[00:02:41] And floundering back to old ted he said
[00:02:44] We've walked half way come take us the rest
[00:02:48] For half price that's a penny a head
[00:02:52] But ted wasn't standing for none of that there
[00:02:55] And making an obstinate lip
[00:02:59] Per tuppence per person per trip ted replied
[00:03:03] Per trip or per part of per trip
[00:03:07] All right then said father let me take the boat
[00:03:11] And I'll pick up the others half way
[00:03:14] I'll row them across and I'll bring the boat back
[00:03:18] And thruppence in t'bargain I'll pay
[00:03:22] T'were money for nothing ted answered right ho
[00:03:26] And father got hold of the sculls
[00:03:29] With the sharp end of boat towards middle of stream
[00:03:32] He were there in a couple of pulls
[00:03:36] He got mother out it were rather a job
[00:03:39] With the water she weighed half a ton
[00:03:42] Then pushing the oar down the side of the boat
[00:03:46] Started fishing around for his son
[00:03:49] When poor little albert came up to the top
[00:03:53] His collars were soggy and limp
[00:03:56] And with holding his breath at the bottom so long
[00:03:59] His face were as red as a shrimp
[00:04:03] Pa took them across and he brought the boat back
[00:04:06] And he said to old ted on the slip
[00:04:10] Wilt row me across by me'sen ted said
[00:04:13] Aye at per tuppence per person per trip
[00:04:19] When they got t'other side father laughed fit to bust
[00:04:23] He'd got best of bargain you see
[00:04:26] He'd worked it all out and he'd got his own way
[00:04:30] And he'd paid nobbut fivepence for three
