That is written and recorded by Cindy Kallet, and is on her second album (which I believe is simply titled "Kallet 2"). You're right, it is a great song; I sing it to my toddler frequently. Here's an attempt from memory; I'm not sure of the order of the middle verses, as I tend to sing it in random order...I'm curious, where did you hear it? (ch)Come on, get your oars and row My darling, come on, get your oars and row We've got tide and the river rising Come on, get your oars and row. Rise up on your feet and walk, My darling, rise up on your feet and walk We've got arms reaching out to catch you Haul up on those feet and walk. In the morning call my name, My darling, in the morning call my name We grow old, young, we birth, we die, And somehow rearrange. Some live and change the world With grace and a vision and a strength of mind. Some rise from trouble, some lend a hand; And some keep trying to find... Watch that little boy go walking, My lover, and watch him as he learns to run. Watch him as he rounds the corner out of sight, And tumbling back in our arms he comes. When it's time to say goodbye, My darling, when it's time to say goodbye, We'll live on in the old and young ones Dreaming down a quiet line...
