about

A slave song from as early as the 1860s, it became an anthem of the civil right's movement a hundred years later, when my parents sang it in desegregation picket lines together in the south.

lyrics

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

Sister help to trim the sails, Hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sails, Hallelujah

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

Jordan's river 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 row the boat ashore, Hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, Hallelujah
