Oh ferry my ferry they wouldn’t let me in

I waited all day and night seemed you’d never begin

first they said the weather . . . high winds rough seas

then it was mechanical . . . all that money still no engines please

when they said it was the dolphins I said . . . I don’t understand

dolphins in Woods Hole harbor . . . really . . . when did they land

but dolphins in steamship parlance ties to construction for a slip

a slip . . . I’m not sure why we’re even having it

all I want is a ride . . . take me to my appointment . . . take me bye-bye

take me to the places I need to go . . . I want to go . . . I must go

take me off my precious Island to the mainland and back again

oh ferry my ferry I miss your status quo

I miss the surety of knowing you’ll go when you say you’ll go
