Woolston Ferry Song
"Woolston ferry" was a 1977 folk song, by Gutta Percha & the Balladeers.
If you are ever up in Sholing and you want to go to town,Don't go via Bitterne, that's the long way round,
Take a trip across the ferry, take a trip across the sea
and if you're pedestrian you can go for free.
Oh, the Woolston ferry doesn't travel very fast,
It was never built for comfort, it was built to last.
