On the stormy night
 
 When the clouds roll in
 
 To hide the lucky stars that I am under
 
 And the smoky sky
 
 Makes the heavens cry
 
 When the lightnin' strikes so long before the thunder
 
  
  When the rain is done
 
 And I'm all alone
 
 In the silence of the dawn that follows after
 
 Then I need someone who can find the sun
 
 And chase away my sorrow with her laughter
  
 
 When my rowboat comes in
 
 There'll be room enough to ride
 
 Though the seas are rough
 
 In the highest tide
 
 When the sun comes out on the other side
 
 Everything will be all right when we go rowin'
  
 
 As I find my way
 
 Down this lonely road
 
 With my old guitar as my one true companion
 
 You can hear me play
 
 Every song I know
 
 From the mountains to the bottom of the canyon
 
 Now they say that time is a precious jewel
 
 I'm looking for some moments I can borrow
 
 And if my lucky stars won't shine tonight
 
 I'd rather take my chances on tomorrow
  
 
 When my rowboat comes in
 
 There'll be room enough to ride
 
 Though the seas are rough
 
 In the highest tide
 
 When the sun comes out on the other side
 
 Everything will be all right when we go rowin'
  
 
 When my rowboat comes in
 
 There'll be room enough to ride
 
 Though the seas are rough
 
 In the highest tide
 
 When the sun comes out on the other side
 
 Everything will be all right when we go rowin'
