We’re riding on a ferry boat across the Berbice River
The water’s calm and gently flowing
Breezes cool are softly blowing
Sailing, sailing merrily across the Berbice River.

The people on the ferry boat have lots of fun together
They talk and laugh, they sing and shout
Get out of their cars and move about
Sailing, sailing merrily across the Berbice River.

Friends meet on the ferry boat across the Berbice River
They sit and have a little chat
They talk of this and talk of that
Sailing, sailing merrily across the Berbice River.

It’s such a very pleasant ride across the Berbice River
The whistle blows so all may know
To say goodbye, it’s time to go
We’ve safely reached the other side
Across the Berbice River.
