Hollies Row The Boat Together Lyrics

Row The Boat Together Lyrics

Standing by a riverside 

A river so deep and so wide 

Current's too
strong for only one man 

I know because I tried 



I got eight
oars - 

four on either side 

Is there anybody with me 

Eight
hands four willing hearts 

Won't someone answer my plea 



Well I got in the boat 

I stayed afloat 

Some way across I was
tiring 

Well I need someone to help me 

to get to the other side




Along came son of Alabama south 

He said "I heard you
calling 

If you don't mind the colour of my skin 

I'll help you not
to fall in" 



Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo 

"If my eyes
don't make you nervous 

I used to handle a junk back home" 

Said
'Can I be of service' 



Well we got in the boat 

we stayed
afloat 

Halfway across we were tiring 

We got to row this boat
together 

to get to the other side 



Two more oars 

only one seat left 

One more person to lean on 

A brotherhood
boat to a land called home 

with our share of freedom 



Got
in the boat 

stayed afloat 

There's no need to be tiring 

We
rowed this boat together 

Happiness meets the other side 

We rowed
this boat together 

Happiness meets the other side 

We rowed this
boat together 

Happiness meets the other side
