JOHANNA
(or "Johanna the Rowin'")

Johanna the rowin', go row the boat, child (sung 3X)
Go row the boat and let me go home.

I'm so tired, go row the boat, child (3X)
Go row the boat and let me go home.

The baby be cryin', go row the boat, child (3X)
Go row the boat and let me go home.

Johanna the rowin', go row the boat, child (3X)
Go row the boat and let me go home.
