The sheet music, which can be seen at Mississippi State University is somewhat different. It has an alternate chorus and a second verse:


NOAH'S WIFE LIVED A WONDERFUL LIFE
Words by Jack Yellen and Roger Lewis; music by Ernie Erdman and Abe Olman, ©1920.

CHORUS: Oh, Noah's wife lived a wonderful life
While floating around in the ark.
No blonde hair ever hung on his coat.
The only blonde in the ark was the goat.
His wife knew Noah had to be true.
There wasn't a place he could roam.
I know they had just one row:
One night she caught him making eyes at the cow.
Oh, Noah's wife lived a wonderful life
'Cause Noah had to stay home.

2. If you're in love and if you're thinking of
Marrying some handsome man,
To make sure he'll always be true,
There is only one thing to do:
Hire a boat 'way out on the sea,
Then watch him carefully.
