This song has me wondering what boat-rowers inspire you . . .
LIKE MOLLY BROWN Carrie Newcomer I'm gonna row my boat like Molly Brown Picking up an oar when the ship went down When she made it home, Molly kissed the ground I'm gonna row my boat like Molly Brown Refrain: Pull and rest, pull and rest Do your best, not more or less Rest and pull, pull and try Keep asking why 'Til we all meet on the other side I'm gonna row my boat like Rosa Parks On that downtown bus, trying to embark Didn't know if she would see the mountain top When asked to stand, Rosa did not Refrain I'm gonna row my boat like RBG Saying "All y'all take your boot off me" She worked to change the old paradigm Day by day, one law at a time Refrain I'm gonna row my boat like Lucretia Mott Who stood up and said "This has to stop" Believed we all carry a piece of light Some called her wrong, but she was right Refrain
