An lowed he's gwine to build boat
Ter beat de steamer Natchez.

But Noah didn't mind EN-,

And for forty days and forty nights
De rain it KEEP a drappin'.
Now Noah had dun kotch a lot
OBJ cherry sort of beaSeS;
OBJ all de shows trabblein'
1t beat 'em all to pieces;
He had Morgan colt
An Seberal head o. JasSy cattle,
An he drew 'em board de ark
Soon'S he heared de thunder rattle.
An such anoder fall OBJ rain!
1t come SO awful hebby,

An all de folks was drownded out
'Cept Noah an de critters,
An men he hired to work de boat
An one ter mix de bitterS.

De lion got his dander up,
An like to bruck de palm,
De sarpents Missed. de painters yelled,
Tell what wild all de fussin'.
You couldn't hardly hear de mate
