<p>I guess it depends on your interpretation of the song, but I'm
not certain that it's necessary for the plot of the song to
specify that it is a ferry as opposed to any other kind of
voyage that you are paying for; the key, in my mind, is the idea
of paying the person responsible for your safe passage before
said goal has been achieved, for fear that they will not deliver
on their part of the bargain.</p>

<p>I didn't say it was necessary for the plot of the song, just that
it might be a better translation of <i>ferryman.</i> I wasn't
making any corrections, just a couple of suggestions.<br>
