Lyrics for Song: Noah's Ark
Lyrics for Album: All-American Boy [Bear Family] [1994]
(Dorsey Burnette - Barry DeVorzon)
The Lord looked down
And all he saw was sin
So he said, ''I'm gonna start
This world all over again.''
Well, the skies turned black and the rain came down
And it rained, rained, rained
The thunder roared with the terrible sound
And it rained, rained, rained.
So he said to Noah,
''Build that ark, build it strong and true
Then take two of everything
Upon this ark with you.
So Noah and his sons built the mighty ark
And it rained, rained, rained
They worked by day and they worked by dark
And it rained, rained, rained.
The people laughed at Noah's ark
Not knowing of their fate
And when they finally realized
By then it was too late.
On came the animals two by two
And it rained, rained, rained
People cried Noah let us come with you
And it rained, rained, rained.
But Noah said, ''People you've lived in sin.''
Paid the Lord no mind
Now there is no room for you
Upon this ark of mine.
Oh well, the earth became one mighty sea
And it rained, rained, rained
What was said had come to be
And it rained, rained, rained.
Gone was mountain, gone was land
'Neath the waters deep
Only Noah's ark was saved
Upon this mighty sea.
Now that you've heard
This story my friend
Don't think for a minute
This can't happen again...
