Ballad of the ark

[Verse] Well I tell you a story about a good man Who had many a problem before he reached dry land It isn't easy for a good man to go down no it isn't easy for a good man to go down On the earth there was trouble sorrow and pain So the Lord said to Noah I'm going to make it rain It isn't easy for a good man to go down no it isn't easy for a good man to go down Noah gathered his sons and the ark it was raised Two by two came the animals that they might be saved It isn't easy Well it rained forty days and it rained forty nights All the earth it was covered the mountains out of sight It isn't easy for a good man to go down no it isn't easy for a good man to go down When the waters receded and the earth it was dry The Lord said to Noah go forth and multiply It isn't easy for a good man to go down no it isn't easy for a good man to go down Yes the Lord made a rainbow way up in the sky He promised no flood would ever murder you and die It isn't easy for a good man to go down no it isn't easy for a good man to go down
