Noah And The Ark     
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Carmol Taylor and Jerry Strickland

C
Well old Noah picked up a hammer 
           F                   C
And said I need a lotta gopher wood

I'm a gonna build myself an ark 
              D7         G7
Cause there's gonna be a flood

        C
Well he worked and told everybody get ready 
   F                 C
Or you're a goin' to drown

And when he got it built he said load up 
           G7                 C
Before the rain comes pourin' down

          F
He loaded two of a kind of everything 
                                           C
That lived on earth and then he closed the door
    F
His wife went along and bared three sons 
          D7                G7
And their wives were all on board

         C
Well the water destroyed everything on earth 
                              F
Noah told the men he's not to blame
                        C
For forty long days and nights it fell 
                      G7           C   G7
And don't you know it was a mighty rain

         C
Well the water was deeper than the trees 
        F                  C
And the web of the highest hill

They sailed along for days and days 
        D7                 G7
Till at last the ark stood still

     C
Then Noah opened up a window wide 
           F            C
And sent a dove to look about

He knew there was land when the dove returned 
        G7                C
With an olive leaf in his mouth

          F
He loaded two of a kind of everything 
                                           C
That lived on earth and then he closed the door
    F
His wife went along and bared three sons 
          D7                G7
And their wives were all on board

         C
Well the water destroyed everything on earth 
                              F
Noah told the men he's not to blame
                        C
For forty long days and nights it fell 
                      G7           C
And don't you know it was a mighty rain

          F
He loaded two of a kind of everything 
                                           C
That lived on earth and then he closed the door
    F
His wife went along and bared three sons 
          D7                G7
And their wives were all on board

         C
Well the water destroyed everything on earth 
                              F
Noah told the men he's not to blame
                        C
For forty long days and nights it fell 
                      G7           C
And don't you know it was a mighty rain
