Did n't old Noah build him an ark, Build it out of hickory bark; Animals come in one by one, Cow a-chewing a caraway bun.
Chorus
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah to de Lamb.
Hallelu, Hallelu. Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah to de Lamb,
Hallelu, Hallelu.
Animals come in two by two,
Rhinoceros an* kangaroo.
Animals come in three by three,
Bear a-huggin' a bumble-y bee. Chorus
Animals come in four by four,
Noah go mad an' shouted for more.
Animals come in five by five,
Thus the animals did arrive. Chorus
Animals come in six by six,
Hyena laughed at the monkey's tricks.
Animals come in seben by seben,
Said the ant to the elephant,
*' Who's you shoving?'' Chorus
Animals come in eight by eight,
Noah hollered, " Go shut dat gate."
Animals come in nine by nine,
Noah hollered, " Go cut dat line." Chorus
The creation of the animals, as well as their later convocation into the Ark, is told in a Creation song sung for me by Dr. Merle St. Croix Wright.
Story of Creation
First He made a sun, Then He made a moon, Then He made a possum, Then He made a coon.
All de other creatures He made 'em one by one; Stuck 'em on de fence to dry As soon as they was done. |
