michael, row the boat ashore
Singer:harry belafonte
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
jordan's river is chilly and cold
but it warms the human soul
this old world is a mighty big place
it got satan all over its face
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
they put daniel in the lion's den
and he walked right out again
the reason them felines permitted that
was that daniel had no fat
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
did you hear what old jonah said
when the world thought he was dead
in that big old whales inside
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
old man noah built an ark
worked from dawn 'til after dark
when he left for foreign shores
had a big family but had no oars
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
they nailed jesus to the cross
but his faith was never lost
so christian soldiers off to war
hold that line in arkansas
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
so mississippi kneel and pray
some more buses on the way
michael row the boat ashore
michael row the boat ashore
