There’s no earthly way of knowing/Which direction they are going… There’s no knowing where they’re rowing… Or which way the river’s flowing… Is it raining, is it snowing?/Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing/So the danger must be growing… Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?/Is the grisly Reaper mowing?/Yes! The danger must be growing/'Cause the rowers keep on rowing/ And they’re certainly not showing/Any sign that they are slowing!
