Subject: Lyr Req: Donovan: Ferryman's Daughter?
I only remember bits of this song of seduction which sounded trad-ish but may have been written by Mr Leitch. The chorus goes:
The river is wide, the river is deep
The ferryman my father lies asleep
and later:
The river is deep, the river is wide
He went through the scullery and stepped inside
Any clues?
Cheers,
Michael
