Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord - Lonnie Donegan

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

And he landed high and dry

The Lord looked down from His window in the sky

Said, «I created man but I don’t remember why

Nothing but fighting since creation day

I’ll send a little water and wash 'em all away

«The Lord came down to look around a spell

And there was Mister Noah behaving mighty well

And that is the reason, the Scriptures record

That Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

And he landed high and dry

The Lord said, «Noah, there’s gonna be a flood

Theres gonna be some water and there’s gonna be some mud

So take off your hat, Noah

Take off your coat

Get Ham, Shem, and Japheth and build yourself a boat

«Noah said, «Lord, I don’t believe I could

«The Lord said, «Noah, get some sturdy gopher wood

Never know what you can do till you try

Build it fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.»

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

And he landed high and dry

Noah said, «There she is.

There she is, Lord.»

The Lord said, «Noah, it’s time to get aboard

Take of each creature a he and a she

And, of course, Missus Noah and your whole family

«Noah said, «Lord, it’s getting mighty dark.»

The Lord said, «Noah, get these creatures on the ark

«Noah said, «Lord, it’s beginning to pour

«The Lord said, «Noah, hurry up and shut the door.»

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

And he landed high and dry

The ark rose up on the bosom of the deep

And after forty days, Mister Noah took a peek

Said, «We're not moving, Lord.

Where are we at?

«The Lord said, «You're sitting right on Mount Ararat

«Noah said, «Lord, it’s getting mighty dry

«The Lord said, «Noah, see my rainbow in the sky

Take all your creatures and people the earth

But be sure you aren’t more trouble than you’re worth.»

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

And he landed high and dry
