Mister Noah Dave Van Ronk Key of G Oh Mister Noah, Oh Mister Noah May I take a ride on the ark of the Lord Cause it's gettin' kind of dark, gonna rain mighty hard Doodly do, doodly do, doodly doodly doodly doodly doodly do! Well no you can't sir, well no you can't sir, No you may not ride in the ark of the Lord Though it's gettin' kind of dark, gonna rain mighty hard Doodly do, doodly do, doodly doodly doodly doodly doodly do! Well go to the devil sir, well go to the devil sir, You can go to the devil with your darned old scow 'Cause I don't believe it's gonna rain that hard anyhow, Doodly do, doodly do, doodly doodly doodly doodly doodly do! Now listen young feller, now listen young feller, That's the bluff of your life 'cause you know darned well That it's drizzling now, gonna rain like hell Doodly do, doodly do, doodly doodly doodly doodly doodly do!
