| Lyrics
Old Noah once he built an ark
There's more one river for to cross
And patched it up with hickory bark
There's one more river for to cross
Chorus:
One more river
And that there river is a' Jordan
One more river
There's one more river for to cross
He went to work to load his stock
There's more one river for to cross
He anchored the ark with a great big rock
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in by one by one
There's more one river for to cross
The elephant chewing a carroway bun
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in two by two
There's more one river for to cross
The rhinoceros and the kangaroo
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in three by three
There's more one river for to cross
The bear, the flea, and the bumblebee
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in four by four
There's more one river for to cross
Old Noah got mad and hollered for more
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in five by five
There's more one river for to cross
With [...] trunks they did arrive
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in six by six
There's more one river for to cross
The hyena laughed at the monkey's tricks
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in seven by seven
There's more one river for to cross
Said the ant to the elephant "Who are you shovin'?"
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in eight by eight
There's more one river for to cross
They came with a rush cause crossed so late
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in nine by nine
There's more one river for to cross
Old Noah shouted "Cut that line!"
There's one more river for to cross
The animals went in ten by ten
There's more one river for to cross
The ark she blew her whistle then
There's one more river for to cross
And then the voyage did begin
There's more one river for to cross
Old Noah drew the gang plank in
There's one more river for to cross
They never knew where they were at
There's more one river for to cross
'Til the old ark bumped on Ararat
There's one more river for to cross |
