Michael Row The Boat Ashore

Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional

Sung by Robert Hunter with the Dinosaurs on 25 October 1985. It appears in setlist as "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

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

The River Jordan 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

Michael's boat is a [music?] boat, hallelujah (note 1)
Faith and courage keep it afloat, hallelujah

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah

Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Notes
(1) I haven't found this verse in any other versions - I think it must be a Hunter addition.
