Verse 1
I went up to the highest mountain so that I might see my boatman. Will you come tonight or will you come tomorrow, because if you don’t come I’ll be devastated.
Chorus
My boatman as you row
My boatman as you row
My boatman as you row
That you might be safe everywhere you go.
Verse 2
My heart is broken to bits because of this. Tears are streaming down my face. Will you come tonight or tomorrow?
Or will I be closing the door with a tired sigh?
Chorus
My boatman as you row
My boatman as you row
My boatman as you row
That you might be safe everywhere you go.
