I dont know where I got these words, but it is what I sing.

Brother Noah, Brother Noah,
May I come into the Ark of The Lord?
For it's growing very dark and it's coming on to rain
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu-u-u-u-ya.

No you cant sir, No you cant sir,
You cant come into the Ark of The Lord
For you have commited sin, so you aint a-coming in
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu-u-u-u-ya.

Very well sir, Very well sir
You can go to the devil with your darned old scow
Cos it aint gonna rain very hard no how
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu-u-u-u-ya.

That's a lie sir, That's a lie sir
You will darn soon tell that it aint no sell
For it's sprinkling now - but it's gonna rain like hell
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu-u-u-u-ya.
