Ferry cross the Mersey.
Ferry cross the Mersey.
Ferry Cross the Mersey (sometimes written Ferry 'Cross the Mersey) is a song written by Gerry Marsden. It was first recorded by his band Gerry and the Pacemakers and released in late 1964. Mersey refers to the River Mersey in northwest England, a river that flows into the Irish Sea at Liverpool. The Mersey Ferry runs between Liverpool and Birkenhead and Seacombe on the Wirral. The song is often misspelled as Ferry 'Cross the Mersey, but according to the song's lyrics, the track is correctly titled Ferry Cross the Mersey. Cross is not a contraction of the preposition across but rather an imperative verb – Ferry, cross the Mersey. In the US, the title was rendered on all 45s – even reissues from decades after the original release – as Ferry Across The Mersey.
