O the jolly boat lies on the starboard deck
The ship groans against open skies
If I could raise my head from this sour bed
I would row back to shore this night
I would row back to shore this night
Row Row Row
Row Row Row
If I could raise my head from this sour bed
I would row back to shore this night
I would row back to shore this night
Oh our ship sailed out on a listless sea
A departure as mild as the breeze
But as land slipped away with the lengthening day
The ocean swelled to my mouth from my feet
The ocean swelled to my mouth from my feet
Row Row Row
Row Row Row
But as land slipped away with the lengthening day
The ocean swelled to my mouth from my feet
The Ocean swelled to my mouth from my feet
If I had been content and refused to go
Not to lie in this unhappy stench below
With the other poor daughters who can’t hold their waters
Oh the sea’s made us sick for our home
Oh, the sea’s made us sick for our home
Row Row Row
Row Row Row
With the other poor daughters who can’t hold their waters
Oh the sea’s made us sick for our home
Oh the sea’s made us sick for our home
