Hi, Carl.
A couple of questions I forgot to ask. It's about the tense of the song.
"Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah"
Michael is singular and third person, so is sister.
How come the verse doesn't appear as,
"Michael row
s the boat ashore, hallelujah
Sister help
s to trim the sail, hallelujah"
1. Does the original verse go like this,
"Michael,
you row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Sister,
you help to trim the sail, hallelujah"
"You' is omitted. Correct?
2. Does 'Sister' refer to Michael's sister or a nun?
Thanks for the details, they help me a lot.
