Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Refrain
Open the window Noah,
Open the window Noah,
Open the window Noah,
Open the window, let the dove come in.
1. The little dove flew in the window and mourned,
Open the window Noah,
The little dove flew in the window and mourned,
Open the window Noah. Refrain
2. The little dove brought back the olive leaf,
Open the window Noah,
The little dove brought back the olive leaf,
Open the window Noah. Refrain
