Verse:

Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat,
And all the girlies he would take for a float.
He had girlies on the shore,
Sweet little peaches by the score.
But master Johnny was a Weisenheimer, you know,
His steady girl was Flo.
And every Sunday afternoon,
She'd jump in his boat, And they would spoon.

 

Chorus:

And then he'd Row, Row, Row, Way up the river.

He would Row, Row, Row, A hug he'd give her.
Then he'd kiss her now and then, She would tell him when.
They'd fool around and fool around, And then they'd kiss again.
And then he'd Row, Row, Row, A little further.

He would go, Oh, Oh, Oh,
Then he'd drop both his oars, Take a few more encores,
And then he'd Row, Row, Row.
