I have this loopy tune as an .mp3 I originally found at the HonkingDuck site (which no longer displays sound clips).

Anyone know anything about Al Hopkins & His Buckle Busters, or more about the song? Or know what kind of wood is being sung about in the first verse?

=====================================================
(Do You Belong to) GIDEON'S BAND(?)
Al Hopkins & His Buckle Busters version

Old No-ee he did build the ark,
Old No-ee he did build the ark,
Old No-ee he did build the ark,
Of xxx wood and hickory bark.

REFRAIN:
Do you belong to Gideon's band?
Here's my heart and here's my hand.
Do you belong to Gideon's band?
We're hunting for a home.

Here comes the animals two by two,
Here comes the animals two by two,
Here comes the animals two by two,
A leopard and a kangaroo!

Oh Eve she did the apple eat
Oh Eve she did the apple eat
Oh Eve she did the apple eat
Popped her lips and said t'was sweet!

Oh keep your hat upon your head
Oh keep your hat upon your head
Oh keep your hat upon your head
For you will want it when you're dead!

Oh keep your nose upon your face
Oh keep your nose upon your face
Oh keep your nose upon your face
For anywhere else, it's out of place!
