Wonderful Easy to play and sing. Great for Fellowship, Campfire sing a longs or just jamming with friends and family. This is a beginners song with potential to make it longer.
This particular version is by the Highway Men released in 1961. The song was first " Published" in the 1860s; but have been covered by too many to list including: Peter Paul and Mary, The Brothers Four, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Rivers just to name a few.
Here is the Brothers Four lyrics:
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah.
Michael's boat is the gospel boat, hallelujah
Michael's boat is the gospel boat, 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 warms the soul, hallelujah
Jordon's water is deep and wide, hallelujah
Milk and honey on the other side, hallelujah.
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah.
Trumpets sounds for you and me, hallelyjah
Trumpets sounds for you and me, hallelyjah
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 the boat ashore, hallelujah.
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah...

Lyrics by Harry Belafonte:
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!

Jordan's river is chilly and cold, Hallelujah!
But it warms the human soul, Hallelujah!
This old world is a mighty big place, Hallelujah
It got Satan all over its face, 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 felines permitted that, Hallelujah,
Was that Daniel had no fat, Hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the 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 whales inside, Hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!

Old man Noah built an ark, Hallelujah
Worked from dawn 'til after dark, Hallelujah
When he left for foreign shores, Hallelujah
Had a big family but had no oars, 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
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah!
Michael row the boat ashore, 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!
