MICHAEL ROW THE BOAT ASHORE

(trad. African American, collected by Charles Pickard Ware)

Michael row the boat ashore,
    Hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore,
    Hallelujah

My brothers and sisters are all aboard,
    Hallelujah
My brothers and sisters are all aboard,
    Hallelujah

The river is deep and the river is wide,
    Hallelujah
Milk and honey on the other side,
    Hallelujah

Jordan's river is chilly and cold,
    Hallelujah
Chills the body but warms the soul,
    Hallelujah

Michael row the boat ashore,
    Hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore,
    Hallelujah
