Fay Hield - Long Time Ago lyrics

[Verse 1] In Frisco Bay there were three ships To me way hey hey-oh In Frisco Bay there were three ships A long time ago And one of them ships was Noah's old ark To me way hey hey-oh Covered all over with hickory bark A long time ago [Chorus] It's a long, long time and a very long time A long time ago [Verse 2] They took two animals of every kind To me way hey hey-oh The great big stag and his heathery hind A long time ago The cat bit the rat with a howl and a yowl To me way hey hey-oh The bull and the cow they started t'row A long time ago [Chorus] It's a long, long time and a very long time A long time ago [Verse 3] Then said old Noah with a flick of his whip To me way hey hey-oh Come stop this row or they'll scuttle the ship A long time ago But the bull struck his horn through the side of the ark To me way hey hey-oh And the little black dog he started t'bark A long time ago [Chorus] It's a long, long time and a very long time A long time ago [Verse 4] So Noah took the dog shoved its nose up the hole To me way hey hey-oh Ever since then dogs' nose has been cold A long time ago It's a long long time and a very long time To me way hey hey-oh A long, long time and a very long time A long time ago [Chorus] It's a long, long time and a very long time A long time ago A long time ago
