Old Ark’s A-Moverin’

 

The old ark’s a-moverin’
A-moverin’ a-moverin’
The old ark’s a-moverin’
By the Spirit of God

How many days did the water fall
Forty days and nights in all
Old ark she reel, old ark she rock,
Old ark she landed on a mountain top
The old ark’s a-moverin’
A-moverin’ a-moverin’
The old ark’s a-moverin’
By the Spirit of God

Ham Shem & Japeth was settin’ one day
Talkin’ on the upper deck & lookin’ at the bay
While they was disputin’ ’bout this
and that The ark done bump on Ararat
The old ark’s a-moverin’
A-moverin’ a-moverin’
The old ark’s a-moverin’
By the Spirit of God

See that sister dressed so fine
She ain’t got religion on her mind
See that brother dressed so gay
Devil’s gonna come and carry him away
The old ark’s a-moverin’
A-moverin’ a-moverin’
The old ark’s a-moverin’
By the Spirit of God
