Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain, rain.
|
|
Well, didn't it rain, children.
|
God's gonna send the waters from Zion.
|
He's good raise his Heaven up higher,
|
It's gonna rain. (Well, it's gonna rain.)
|
|
Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen.
|
My God walked down by the briny sea,
|
Beheld the evil of the sinful man;
|
Declared that he would destroy the land.
|
He spoke to Noah; Noah stopped.
|
He said: "Noah, I want you to build an ark.
|
"I want you to build it big and strong.
|
"Build it three hundred cubits along,
|
"Thirty high and fifty wide,
|
"'Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide.
|
|
Well, rain, children.
|
God's gonna send the waters from Zion.
|
He's good raise his Heaven up higher,
|
It's gonna rain. (Well, it's gonna rain.)
|
|
Well, after God told him what to do,
|
Noah began to cut and hew.
|
The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement."
|
The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent."
|
A hundred years, he hammered and sawed,
|
Building the Ark by the Grace of God.
|
After the foundation was laid,
|
He hewed the timber and the Ark was made.
|
"Lord, let it rain."
|
Behold the Ark was made.
|
|
Oh, Noah.
|
(Well, he called in the animals two by two.)
|
(The ox, and the camel, and the kangaroo.)
|
Oh, Noah.
|
(Well, they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem.)
|
(And God began to flood the land.)
|
Oh, Noah.
|
(He raised his hands to heaven on high.)
|
(He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky.)
|
Oh, Noah.
|
(Shook the mountains and wobbled the sea.)
|
(And He hitched his reins to the chariot wheels.)
|
Oh, Noah.
|
(Stepped on the land and stood on the shore.)
|
(And declared that time would be no more.)
|
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Oh, Noah: Noah, didn't it rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain, rain.
|
|
My Lord, then the wind did blow and the Ark did rock,
|
And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock.
|
My God spoke and he whispered low.
|
Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go.
|
He said: "Look a-here, Noah, the rain's done stopped,
|
"And I want you to land on the mountaintop."
|
Showed old Noah a rainbow sign,
|
Said: "It won't be a rain but fire next time."
|
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Oh, Noah: Noah, didn't it rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Rain, rain, rain.
|
Oh, Noah: Noah, didn't it rain.
