Michael, Row the Boat Ashore Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!

This old world′s a mighty big place, Hallelujah
It's got Satan all over its face, Hallelujah
Jordan′s river is chilly and cold, Hallelujah!
But it warms the human soul, Hallelujah, so

Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row that boat ashore, Hallelujah!

Did you hear what old Jonah said, Hallelujah
When the world thought he was dead, Hallelujah
I was taking' me a ride, Hallelujah
In that big old whale's inside, Hallelujah, so


Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!

They put Daniel in the lion′s den, Hallelujah
And he walked right out again, Hallelujah
The reason them lions permitted that, Hallelujah
Was that Daniel had no fat, Hallelujah, so

Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row that boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!

They nailed Jesus to the Cross, Hallelujah
But his faith was never lost, Hallelujah
So Christian soldiers off to war, Hallelujah
Hold that line in Arkansas, Hallelujah
Joshua at Jericho, Hallelujah
Alabama′s next to go, Hallelujah
So Mississippi kneel and pray, Hallelujah
Some more buses on the way, 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!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row that boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
