Johnny Cash - Ballad of the Ark lyrics

Well I tell you a story about a good man
Who had many a problem before
He reached dry land
It isn't easy for a good man to go down no
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
On the earth there was
Trouble sorrow and pain
So the Lord said to Noah I'm
Going to make it rain
It isn't easy for a good man to go down no
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
Noah gathered his sons and the
Ark it was raised
Two by two came the animals
That they might be saved it isn't easy
Well it rained forty days and
It rained forty nights
All the earth it was covered
The mountains out of sight
It isn't easy for a good man to go down no
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
When the waters receded and the
Earth it was dry
The Lord said to Noah go forth and multiply
It isn't easy for a good man to go down no
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
Yes the Lord made a rainbow way up in the sky
He promised no flood would ever
Murder you and die
It isn't easy for a good man to go down no
It isn't easy for a good man to go down
