Lyrics

I JUMPED IN MY BOAT
AND I BEGAN TO ROW
ROW ‘N ROW, YEAH I ROWED
ACROSS THE RIVER
WHEN I’M FEELING LOW
I KNOW WHERE TO GO
WHERE TO GO, I JUST GO
ACROSS THE RIVER
THEN I SAW MY OLD FRIEND JACQUES
WAVING FROM HIS DOOR
AND I HEARD HIM SAY EN FRANCAIS
AS I STEPPED ON THE SHORE

CHORUS
COMMENT CA VA….HOW YA BEEN
ENTRE DONC…..COME ON IN
BIENVENUE MON AMI…WELCOME FRIEND
CA FAIS TROP LONGTEMPS…IT’S BEEN TOO LONG
VIEN T’EN….COME ON, COME ON
FAISON LA FETE….LET’S HAVE A GOOD TIME

SOLO

THEY LIKE TO TAKE THE GUITARS DOWN
AND PASS THE BOTTLE ROUND
ROUND AND ROUND, WE GET DOWN
ACROSS THE RIVER
THEY LOVE TO SING AND DANCE ALL NIGHT
YEAH THEY DO IT UP ALRIGHT
ALRIGHT, ALL NIGHT
ACROSS THE RIVER

SO WHEN I’M FEELING DOWN
WHEN LIFE IS JUST A BLUR
I HEAD ACROSS THE RIVER
KNOWING JACQUES WILL WAVE BONJOUR

CHORUS
HEY FAISON LA FETE….LET’S HAVE A GOOD TIME
