???? Lyrics:

[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)

[Verse 1]
Sister, help to trim the sails (Hallelujah)
Sister, help to trim the sails (Hallelujah)

[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)

[Verse 2]
The River Jordan is chilly and cold (Hallelujah)
Chills the body but not the soul (Hallelujah)

[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)

[Verse 3]
River is deep and the river is wide (Hallelujah)
Milk and honey on the other side (Hallelujah)

[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
