The Oak Ridge Boys - Didn't It Rain lyrics

The good Lord went to Noah and he told him about the flood He said Noah build me a vessel and make it out of gopher wood Build it big, tall and strong so it won't be torn apart Old Noah built him a masterpiece and he called it Noah's ark Didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? He had a moose and a goose and a gander Alligator and a big hippo A monkey and an ape, a couple of snakes A ram and a sheep and a goat He had a possum and a 'coon and a black baboon Ann eagle and a red-tailed hawk A buck and a doe, a turkey and a crow And a donkey trying to bark He had leopards, lions and tigers Bulls and a buffalo Orang-utans and little bitty things All lined up in a row He had a dog and a cat and a gopher rat And a great big grizzly bear A mule and a cow, a boar and a sow He had two of everything in there Didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? He had apples, peaches, plums and pears Grapes and apricots Bees and beans and turnip greens He had corn and baby squash He had a pumpkin and a big watermelon He had every kind of wheat And just before he closed that door He grabbed a handful of mustard seed Didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? Didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? Oh didn't it rain children, didn't it rain, rain, rain Forty days and nights, didn't it rain? Lord, Lord, forty days and nights, didn't it rain?
