Ballad of the Ark lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'll tell you a story about a good man
Who had many a problem before he reached dry land
It ain't easy for a good man to go down
No, it ain't easy for a good man to go down

[Verse 2]
On the earth there was trouble, sorrow, and pain
So the Lord said to Noah, "I'm going to make it rain"
It ain't easy for a good man to go down
No, it ain't easy for a good man to go down

[Verse 3]
Noah gathered his sons and the ark, it was raised
Two by two came the animals that they might be saved
It ain't easy for a good man to go down
No, it ain't easy for a good man to go down

[Verse 4]
Well, it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
All the earth it was covered, the mountains out of sight
It ain't easy for a good man to go down
No, it ain't easy for a good man to go down

[Verse 5]
When the waters receded and the earth it was dry
The Lord said to Noah, "Go forth and multiply"
It ain't easy for a good man to go down
No, it ain't easy for a good man to go down
[Verse 6]
Yes, the Lord made a rainbow way up in the sky
He promised no flood would ever murder you and I
It ain't easy for a good man to go down
No, it ain't easy for a good man to go down
