Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah

The river is deep and the river is wide, hallelujah 
Green pastures on the other side, hallelujah 

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah 
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah 

Jordan's river is chilly and cold, hallelujah 
Chills the body but not the soul, hallelujah 

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah 
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah 
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah 

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