72 - Noah's Ark Shanty

In Frisco Bay there were three ships,
To me way, hey, hey, oh
In Frisco Bay there were three ships,
A long time ago

And one of those ships was Noah’s old ark,
To me way, hey, hey, oh
Covered all over with hickory bark.
A long time ago

They took two animals of every kind
To me way, hey, hey, oh
They took two animals of every kind
A long time ago

The bull and the cow they started to row,
To me way, hey, hey, oh
The bull and the cow they started to row
A long time ago

Then said old Noah with a flick of his whip,
To me way, hey, hey, oh
Come stop this row or I’ll scuttle the ship
A long time ago

But the bull stuck his hoof through the side of the ark,
To me way, hey, hey, oh.
And the little black dog he started to bark
A long time ago

So Noah took the dog, stuck its nose in the hole
To me way, hey, hey, oh
And ever since then, the dog’s nose has been cold
A long time ago

It’s a long, long time, and a very long time
To me way, hey, hey, oh
A long, long time, and a very long time
A long time ago
