Subject: RE: Lyr Req: God Gave Noah the Rainbow Sign
Is Chocolate Pi (from 12 Mar 00) still around? Bob Gibson did a spiritual, "Well, Well, Well", on a Newport Folk Festival album ('64?). Gave me goosebumps. (cho)"Well, well, well -- who's that a-callin'? Well, well, well -- hol' my hand. Well, well, well -- night is a-fallin' -- Spirit is a-movin' all ovuh this lan'. (verse)The Lawd tol' Noah "Build you an ark. Build it out of hickory bark." *Rain started fallin'; water started to climb -- God said a fire, not a flood next time!! (cho) (v) My Lawd said fire comin' judgement day -- All mankind's gonna pass away. Brothers an' sisters don't you know? You're gonna reap just what you sow. (cho) (v) World's not waitin' for the Lawd's command; Buildin' a fire that'll sweep the land. Thunder out of heaven comin' -- Gabriel's call -- An' the sea's gonna boil, an' the sky's gonna fall!!"
(The verses being aabb -- I get the b sections with the wrong a sections sometimes.) *This line may start "Thunder started rollin',..." Related note: Not too long ago (read "within my lifetime" - I'm 61) one of the rivers flowing out of one of the Great Lakes (?) was so polluted it caught fire. Seemed like a reminder.... Tw
(P.S. Does anyone remember Bill Cosby's "Riiight -- What's a Cubit?... Noah, how long can you tread water?")
