lyrics

Row, row, row this boat.

Just keep ‘em safe.

Don’t know where I am going,
but i know I've got to there soon.

Been in this canoe for so long.
Ain’t seen the land
am sick of sky
my feet are patchy from the salt.
There’s water, water everywhere
but I would sell my soul to quench my thirst.
Oh Lord.
If you must claim a life tonight
take mine and spare my poor family.
Keep my children from the sharks,
keep my wife from mens remarks.
When she smiles bring out the stars
and keep ‘em safe
and park ‘em down Compassion’s Bay.
Through this awful storm find them a way.
Just keep them safe.
Just keep them safe.

Don’t know where I am going,
but i know I've got to there soon.

Row, row, row this boat.
