Thread Name: Lyr Req: Oh, Mona
Subject: Lyr Add: WHO BUILT THE ARK?
My Gospel group does a song about Noah's Ark, with the "Oh, Mona" line as a chorus:

Tell me, who built that ark?
(answer) Brother Noah-e
Lead and response repeated two times
Brother Noah-e built that ark
Brother Noah-e built that art
Oh, Mona, you shall be free, oh, you shall be free
When the good Lord sets you free

Adam was the first man ever invented
Lived all alone, and he never was contented
Made out a mud in the days gone by
Hung him on a fence for the sun to dry

Along come Noah and he stumbled in the dark
With his hammer and his nails, he built him an ark
Called in the animals, two by two
The hippopatus and the kangaroo

Along come Caine and he looked like his Mother
Hustling all around, just a'looking for his brother
Along came Able and he started to kick
So Able his him in the head with a brick

and I wrote another verse

God sent Jonah to deliver the mail
Took him for a ride in the belly of a whale
But Jonah and the whale, they couldn't agree
So God took pity and he set him free

The song will be on the CD the Gospel Messengers are currently recording. NortonL has heard it...
