Johnny Cash Ballad Of The Ark Lyrics

Ballad Of The Ark Lyrics

Well I tell you a story about a good man 



Who had many a problem
before he reached dry land 



It ain't easy for a good man to go
down no it ain't easy for a good man to go down 



On the earth
there was trouble sorrow and pain 



So the Lord said to Noah I'm
gonna make it rain 



It ain't easy for a good man to go down no it
ain't easy for a good man to go down 



Noah gathered his sons and
the ark it was raised 



Two by two came the animals that they might
be saved 



It ain't easy... 



[ guitar ] 



Well it rainded forty days and it rained forty nights 



All the
earth it was covered the mountains out of sight 



It ain't easy for
a good man to go down no it ain't easy for a good man to go down 



When the waters receded and the earth it was dry 



The Lord said
to Noah go forth and multiply 



It ain't easy for a good man to go
down no it ain't easy for a good man to go down 



Yes the Lord made
a ranbow way up in the sky 



He promised no flood would ever murder
you and die 



It ain't easy for a good man to go down no it ain't
easy for a good man to go down
