Keep on rowing your boat
(Brother-man, brother-man, yah)
Row, fisherman row
Lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore
Millions of them!
Lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore
Living in a bumbo hut
In a little hole seaport town (hmm, hmm)
Three kids on the floor
And another one to come make four
Day, day by day
I man step it along the sea shore
Day, day by day
I man step it along the sea shore
Hail brother John, have you got any wenchman?
Yes, brother Peter
Wenchman, sprat and mackaba (I'll tell you)
Yes, brother Peter
Wenchman, sprat and mackaba
Row, fisherman row
Keep on rowing your boat
(Brother-man, brother-man, yah)
Row, fisherman row
We've got to reach on higher grounds
(..)
Row, fisherman row
Keep on rowing your boat
(Brother-man, brother-man, yah)
Row, fisherman row
Yes, we've got to reach on higher grounds
Brothers, we've got to reach on higher grounds
Simon, Peter, James and John
Matthew 4:18-22
Come ashore to feed the hungry belly ones
Simon, Peter, James and John
Come ashore to feed the hungry belly ones
So row, fisherman row
Keep on rowing your boat
(Brother-man, brother-man, yah)
Row, fisherman row
Lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore
Millions of them!
Lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore
Quaju Peg the collie-man
Sell the best collie in seaport town
Quaju Peg the collie-man
A the best collie weed in town
Keep on rowing your boat
(Brother-man, brother-man, yah)
Row, fisherman row
Lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore
Millions of them!
Lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore (hmm, hmm)
Simon, Peter, James and John
Come ashore to feed the hungry belly ones, yeah
Simon, Peter, James and John
Come ashore to feed the hungry belly ones
So row, fisherman row
Keep on rowing your boat
(Brother-man, brother-man, yah)
Row, fisherman row
We've got to reach on higher grounds
Rain is falling!
We've got to reach on higher grounds
The rain start falling!
We've got to reach on higher grounds..
