Little Red Rented Rowboat Lyrics By Joe Dowell

    little red rented rowboat little red rented rowboat
    not much better than no boat
    but at least it will go when i row row row at least it will go when i row

    i saw two pretty girls sunbathing on a pier
    they wore jeans way down to here
    i waved they waved they said they’d like a ride
    so i helped them climb inside to share my

    row row row row row
    along came a sailboat big enough for two
    the skipper saw the girls i knew what he would do
    he waved and they waved then he helped them inside
    just one girl to ride there in my

    row row row row row
    hotrod motorboat roared up behind
    the girl took a look and i could read her mind
    she waved and he waved he helped her climb inside
    leaving me with wounded pride
    row row row row row
    one hour later i saw them again
    motorboat out of gas sailboat out of wind
    the girls waved and i waved and then i passed them by
    with my nose held way up high me and my

    to fade
    row row row your boat
