Fisherman

The Congos

Row fisherman row

keep on rowing your bouat

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

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
