Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Sister, help to trim the sails, hallelujah! Sister, help to trim the sails, hallelujah! The river is deep and the river is wide, hallelujah! Milk and honey on the other side, hallelujah! Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah! Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah!
