Lyrics

Well I tell you a story about a good man
Who had many a problem before he reached dry land
It ain't easy for a good man to go down no it ain'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 gonna make it rain
It ain't easy for a good man to go down no it ain'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 ain't easy..
[ guitar ]
Well it rainded forty days and it rained forty nights
All the earth it was covered the mountains out of sight
It ain't easy for a good man to go down no it ain'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 ain't easy for a good man to go down no it ain't easy for a good man to go down
Yes the lord made a ranbow way up in the sky
He promised no flood would ever murder you and die
It ain't easy for a good man to go down no it ain't easy for a good man to go down
