Noah's Ark Chantey

In Frisco Bay there were three ships
     To me way, hay, hay, yah.
In Frisco Bay there were three ships
     A long time ago.

And one of them was Noah's old ark
All covered all over with hickory bark.

There were two animals of every kind
There were two animals of every kind.

The bull and the cow they started for t' row
The bull and the cow they started for t' row.

Then said old Noah with a crack of his whip
Come stop this row or I'll scuttle the ship.

But the bull put his horn through the side of the ark
And the little black dog he started to bark.

So Noah took the dog, shoved his nose up the hole
And ever since then dogs' nose has been cold.

And it's a long, long time and a very long time
It's a long, long time and a very long time.
