Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Row, fisherman, row
Keep on rowing your boat (Brotherman, brotherman)
Row, fisherman, row
Lots of hungry belly pickney, they a shore (Millions of them)
Lots of hungry belly pickney, they a shore
[Verse 2]
Living in a bamboo hut
In a little old sea-port town
Three kids on the floor
And another one to come make four
Day, day by day
I man step it along the sea shore
Day, day by day
I man step it along the sea shore
[Verse 3]
Hail, brother John
Have you got any wenchman?
Yes, brother Peter
Wenchman, sprat and mackaba
Yes, brother Peter
Wenchman, sprat and mackaba
[Verse 4]
Row, fisherman, row
Keep on rowing your boat (Brotherman, brotherman)
Row, fisherman, row
We've got to reach on higher grounds
[Verse 5]
Row, fisherman, row
Keep on rowing your boat (Brotherman, brotherman)
Row, fisherman, row
Yes, we've got to reach on higher grounds
Brothers, we've got to reach on higher ground
[Verse 6]
Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
To feed the hungry belly ones
Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
To feed the hungry belly ones
[Verse 7]
So, row, fisherman, row
Keep on rowing your boat (Brotherman, brotherman)
Row, fisherman, row
Lots of hungry belly pickney, they a shore (Millions of them)
Lots of hungry belly pickney, they a shore
[Verse 8]
Quaju Peg, the cali man
Sell the best cali in seaport town
Quaju Peg, the cali man
Ha the best cali weed in town
[Verse 9]
Oh, people rowing their boats (Brotherman, brotherman)
Row, fisherman, row
Lots of hungry belly pickney, they a shore (Millions of them)
Lots of hungry belly pickney, they a shore
[Verse 10]
Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
To feed the hungry belly ones
Simon, Peter, James and John come a shore
To feed the hungry belly ones
[Verse 11]
Row, fisherman, row
Keep on rowing your boat
