>>Ferry Cross the Mercie (spelling) by Jerry and the Pacemakers or whatever.<< 'Ferry Cross the Mersey' By Gerry Marsden and the Pacemakers. There was also a terrible film of the same title made in '64 too. 'Mersey' as in River Mersey between Liverpool and Birkenhead, and Ferry as in the means of getting from one to the other. Now there are road and rail tunnels under the river but for generations it was a way of getting to work in Liverpool for people working on the Wirral peninsula. I suppose like the New Jersey ferry? Gerry is better known for his singing of Rogers and Hammerstein's "You'll Never Walk Alone" which is the unofficial anthem of Liverpool Football Club. Two mentions for the mighty reds on the same day! And me a Chelsea fan! Mike in bcn
