One More River

Lyrics

(Folk song)

1. Old Noah, he built himself an Ark, there’s one more river to cross,
He built it out of hickory bark, there’s one more river to cross.

2. The animals went in one by one…
The elephant chewing a caraway bun…

3. The animals went in two by two…
The rhinoceros and kanagaroo…

4. The animals went in three by three…
The bat, the bear and the bumblebee…

5. The animals went in four by four…
Old Noah hollered, “You look alive…”

6. The animals cane five by five…
The honey bees looking to build a hive…

7. The animals went in six by six…
The hyena laughed at the monkey’s tricks…

8. The animals went in seven by seven…
Says the ant to the elephant, “Who are you?”…

9. The animals went in eight by eight…
Old Noah hollered, “It’s getting late…”

10. The animals went in nine by nine…
Old Noah hollered to “Cut that line!”..

11. The animals went in ten by ten…
Old Noah blowed his whistle then…
