Very nice, Threelegsoman, but allow me to say that the version from Nina y Frederik has additional verses at the end, including the last one that does mention a Unicorn.
I will try to find the time to put it on YouTube within the next two days. Hope I am not running into some copyright infringement... please let me know if you know otherwise.
Thank you.

I have today been disabused of the idea and / or practice of spelling names containing the Dutch word "van" , as in of or from ,with a capital V , thus (I assume ! ) the guy's name should be Dave van Ronk.But I expect that I am wrong again !!

Hey, I still have that original Nina and Frederik record (vinyl) if you wish to purchase it.
Oddly, there is quite a bit of Nina y Frederik music on You tube but I did not find this piece...

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.

I once saw 2 guys perform this song, gargling water (as in underwater) for the last doodleedoo's.

Yes, at the end Nina would say something like
"You know there's no such thing as a unicorn!"
They toured NZ and presumably Australia in the early 60s, when the only other overseas 'folk' on offer included Clausen or Theodore Bikel, so we thought they were lovely. Later I gave their record away!

As learned from singing of Dave Van Ronk:

Oh, Mr. Noah;
Oh, Mr. Noah:
May I take a ride
In the Ark of the Lord
'Cause it's gettin mighty dark
Gonna rain mighty hard.
Doodly Do
Doodly Do
Doodly doodly doodly
Doodly doodly do.

("Doodlys" omitted hereafter, but repeat every verse)

Oh, no, you can't, sir
Oh, no, you can't, sir
You may not ride
In the Ark of the Lord
'Tho it's gettin mighty dark
Gonna rain mighty hard.

Well, go to the devil, sir
Well, go to the devil, sir
You can go to the devil
In your durned old scow,
'Cause you know darn well
It won't rain anyhow

Well, listen, young feller.
Well, listen, young feller.
That's the bluff of your life,
'Cause you know darn well,
It's sprinklin' now;
Gonna rain like Hell.

Peter.

From (childhood) memory;

Its going to rain very hard
Doodly do Doodly do
Doodly oodly oodly oodly oodly ooh

I'm looking for the lyrics to a song which I believe was titled "Mr Noah" and which I believe was originally performed by Nina and Frederik. Sorry to be so non-specific but I never heard the song in its original form - just several friends performed it so I'm not absolutely certain of its title or origins. The song itself is a supposed dialogue between Noah and an animal who was not sufficiently lucky to be included in Noah's passenger list on the ark. I can remember none of the words except that the chorus finished with a rather corny little duet of "doodly doo, doodly doo, doodly doodly doodly doodly doodly doo"

Anyone able to help?
