This tune was written by Jimmy Zapata back in 2007, it settled to to the setlist and rode the wave of live performances for many years until 2023 when the guys decided it was time to record it so we can share with the world and not just on stage!
Lyrics
Steady she goes as we roll on down that line
“Hey Mr. ferry boat captain do you have the time?”
“Why yes of course my son, it’s a quarter till nine”
I pull my pistol and that pocket watch is mine
Steady she goes as we roll on down that line
Check myself in to the old hotel on the side
Of this old bar so I wouldn’t have to steal a ride
Walk in, sit down, “Mr. Bartender, I’ll have a whiskey, make it tall”
I pull my pistol as that empty bottle falls
Steady she goes as we roll on down that line
And the storm comes and the rain fall and the wind blows I cry, I cry,
And I pull my pistol one last time
One last time
Steady she goes as we roll on down that line
“Hey Mr. Ferry boat captain, do you have the time?”
