Noah Harry Belafonte

[Intro]
Brothers? (Yeah)
Sisters? (Yeah)
Says here in Genesis, one chapter one
In the beginning God made the earth
It also says here in Genesis, six chapter six
That the children of Israel were sinning (Sinning)
A-sinning (Sinning), a-sinning (Sinning)
What did I say? (They were a-sinning)
That's exactly what I said
And when God saw them sinning
It hurt Him to his heart
It hurt Him so bad, it made Him mad
It made Him so mad, he was angry
And when God got angry, the sky turned dark
And it was than that he told Noah to build the ark
Who built the ark? (Noah)
Who built the ark? (Noah)
Who built the ark? (Noah, Noah)
Noah built that ark

[Verse]
Children, stop to still, listen to me
God walked down by the Briny sea
Beheld evil of the sinful man
Declared that he would destroy the land
Spoke to Noah, Brother Noah stopped
He said, "Looka here, Noah, build me an ark
Won't you build it big and strong
Build it three hundred cubic long
Thirty high, about fifty wide
I want it to stand my rain and tide
On this day I make my mark
In a hundred years I want that ark
Knock it free with this evil land
Not a living thing is gonna stand
Except the things that I tell to you
That I'm gonna need when the world is new
I've been east and I've been west
I've decided to put this world at rest
I've been up and I've been down
Nothing but evil all around
I've seen brother turn against brother
Up this high and it'll go no further
Women weep and children mourn
Sorry the day that man was born
Sinful people one by one
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
Sorry the day my wrath begun
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
And all this land is my land
Not a living thing is gonna stand
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
'Cause it's gonna rain ('Cause it's gonna rain)
