The Rowing Song

Round the world and home again
That’s the sailor’s way
Faster faster, faster faster
 
There’s no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There’s no knowing where we’re rowing
Or which way the river’s flowing
 
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a–blowing
 
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a–glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
 
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they’re certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing.
