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
