Noah's Ark (One Wide River)

Old Noah built himself an ark,
There's one wide river to cross!
He built it out of hickory bark,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

The animals went in one by one,
There's one wide river to cross!
The elephant, who weighed a ton,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

The animals went in two by two,
There's one wide river to cross!
The donkey and the kangaroo,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

The animals went in three by three,
There's one wide river to cross!
The hippo and a mouse and flea,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

The animals went in four by four,
There's one wide river to cross!
You should have heard the lions roar,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

The animals went in five by five,
There's one wide river to cross!
The bumblebee, he brought his hive,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

When Noah found he had no sail,
There's one wide river to cross!
He made one from his old coat tail,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.

And as they talked of this and that,
There's one wide river to cross!
The ark it bumped on Arrarat,
There's one wide river to cross!
There's one wide river,
And that wide river is Jordan,
There's one wide river,
There's one wide river to cross.
