Hank Snow - I'm Glad I'm On The Inside (looking Out) lyrics

In the days of Noah just before the flood When the wicked had all forgotten God Brother Noah, built a boat which above God's wrath did float And the people saw that they were made of mud As the doors stood open with the gang planked out Noah and his family entered with a shout When the scufflers stretched their necks Noah stepped out on the deck and said I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out Than to be upon the outside looking in When the rain began to fall sinners on the Lord did call But the door was shut and night was settin' in Then old Noah from the window looking out Gazed to heaven beyond the water spout And he said I thank the Lord that I took him at his word I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out [ fiddle - guitar ] Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long ago And he had the grace to tell the devil no Though he prayed three times a day in the good old fashioned way They said into the lions den must go And lions made him welcomed to their home For they knew he was nothing but backbone When the king looked in and said are you alive or are you dead,he was sirred,as Daniel spoke in gentle tone... But I'd rather be on the inside...
