One more river

Old Noah once he built the Ark,
 And sealed it up with hickory bark,

Chorus: There's one more river to cross,
 And that's the river Jordan,
 One more river,
 There's one more river to cross.

He went to work to load his stock,
He anchored the Ark on a great big rock,

The animals went in one by one,
 The elephant chewing a caraway bun,

The animals went in two by two,
 The lion and the kangaroo,

The animals went in three by three,
 The skunk, the flea and the bumble bee,

The animals went in four by four,
Old Noah got mad and yelled for more,

The animals went in five by five,
Noah asked when the rain would arrive,

The animals went in six by six,
The hyena laughed at the monkey's tricks,

The animals went in seven by seven,
Said the rabbit to the elephant, "Who are you a-shovin'?"

The animals went in eight by eight,
 They came with a rush 'cause it was late,

The animals went in nine by nine,
 Old Noah hollered "Cut that line!"¬

The animals went in ten by ten,
 The Ark she blew her whistle then,

And then the voyage did begin,
 Old Noah pulled the gang-plank in,

They never knew where they were at,
 Till the old Ark bumped on Ararat.
