  *1) ++Lyrics:|\\
O hoi-ye-ho, Ho-ye-ho who's for the ferry?\\
(The briar's in bud the sun going down,)\\
And I'll row ye so quick and I'll row ye so steady,\\
And 'tis but a penny to Twickenham Town.\\
The Ferryman's slim and the Ferryman's young,\\
And he's just a soft twang in the turn of his tongue;\\
And he's fresh as a pippin and brown as a berry;\\
And 'tis but a penny to Twickenham Town.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Oh-oi-ye-ho, Ho-ye-ho, Ho-ye-ho, Ho!\\
\\
O hoi-ye-ho, Ho-ye-ho I'm for the ferry?\\
(The briar's in bud the sun going down.)\\
And it's late as it is, and I haven't a penny,\\
And how shall I get me to Twickenham Town?\\
She'd a rose in her bonnet, and Oh! she look'd sweet\\
As the little pink flower that grows in the wheat;\\
With her cheeks like a rose, and her lips like a cherry;\\
And sure and you're welcome to Twickenham Town.\\
\\
O hoi-ye-ho, Ho you're too late for the ferry?\\
(The briar's in bud the sun going down.)\\
And he's not rowing quick, and he's not rowing steady;\\
You'd think 'twas a journey to Twickenham Town.\\
O hoi, and O ho, you may call as you will,\\
The moon is a rising on Petersham Hill;\\
And with Love like a rose in the stern of the wherry,\\
There's danger in crossing to Twickenham Town.\\
