Out here on the water wide (Row, my lady, row)
Shadows dance and strange birds cry (Go, my lady, go)
Cotton fields are growing high (Row, my lady row)
Hands reach up to touch the sky (Go my lady, go)
And your words will echo through the darkest night
Faith, love, oh, please, won't you show me a guiding light?
And even if I run, I know that I am right
Keep me safe, keep me warm, watertight
Spin and swirl and breaking free (Row my lady, row)
Withypool won't wither me (Go, my lady, go)
Hang my woes from the hanging tree (Row, my lady, row)
Mercy, love, and mercy me (Go my lady, go)
And your words will echo through the darkest night
Faith, love, oh, please, won't you show me a guiding light?
And even if I run, I know that I am right
Keep me safe, keep me warm, watertight
