Congos - Row Fisherman Row


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

row fisherman row

keep on rowing your boat
lots of hungry belly pickney they a shore, millions of them

living in a bumbo hut
in a little hole sea-port town
three kids on the floor
and another one to come make four

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

row fisherman row keep on rowing your boat
brotherman brotherman
row fisherman row
we've got to reach on higher grounds
 
Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
to feed the hungry belly ones
Matthew 4:18-22 - And Jesus, walking by the sea
of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter,
and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea:
for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow
me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they
straightway left their nets, and followed him.
And going on from thence, he saw other two
brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets;
and he called them. And they immediately left
the ship and their father, and followed him.
Mark 1:16-19 - Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee,
he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into
the sea: for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto
them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to
become fishers of men. And straightway they
forsook their nets, and followed him. And when he
had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who
also were in the ship mending their nets.
so, row fisherman row
keep on rowing your boat
lots of hungry belly pickney they a-shore, millions of them

Quaju Peg the collie-man
sell the best collie in sea port town
Quaju Peg the collie man
ha the best collie weed in town

row fisherman row
keep on rowing your boat
we've got to reach on higher grounds
rain is falling
we've got to reach on higher grounds
