Hootenanny with the Highwaymen

--- Michael ---
[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
[Verse 1]
Sister, help to trim the sail (Hallelujah)
Sister, help to trim the sail (Hallelujah)
[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
[Verse 2]
River Jordan is chilly and cold (Hallelujah)
Chills the body but not the soul (Hallelujah)
(If you know the song, c'mon help us sing it)
[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, Sing it out, c'mon, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
[Verse 3]
River is deep, the river is wide (Hallelujah)
Milk and honey on the other side (Hallelujah)
[Chorus]
(Michael, row the boat ashore, sing it now, hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
--- Cotton Fields ---
[Verse]
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
[Chorus]
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
[Verse]
When I was a wittle bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
[Chorus]
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
[Outro]
In them old, old, old cotton fields back home
In them old, old, old cotton fields back home
