Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" (or "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore") is an African-American spiritual.

It was first noted during the Civil War at St. Helena Island, one of the Sea Islands of South Carolina.It was sung

by former slaves whose owners had abandoned the island before the Union navy would arrive to enforce a blockade.

As this song originated in oral tradition, there are many versions of the lyrics. It begins with the refrain,

"Michael, row the boat ashore, Hallelujah." The lyrics describe crossing the River Jordan:

☆Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" (or "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore")곡은 흑인영가중의 하나이다.

 이 노래는 미국의 남북전쟁중에 South Carolina 주의 St. Helena섬에서 채집되었다. 

남부군(해군)이  방어진지를 구축하려 들어오기 이전에, 섬주인이 부리던 흑인노예들이 부르던 것으로,

구전되어 오던 것을 채집하였으며 여러가지 가사들이 있다.

가사의 내용은 성경에서 이야기하는 요단강 건너 영적세계를 노래함.
