Birds they flew, beasts they knew
Storm was comin' and nothing to do
Noah gon' bail, ark gon' sail
Flood a-risin' and levee gon' fail
Water risin' and the levee done failed
Looked to the East, looked to the West
Sorry boys not one life vest
Had to flee, wife lost me
Parted by that Mississippi sea
Parted by a big ol' sea
Family in hand, spotted dry land
Nothing more than a bag of loose sand
They drew sticks, couldn't all fit,
Let baby go like Moses quick
Let that baby go real quick
President came, after the rain
Matching wits with the hurricane
President found when he looked around
"You can't swim, reckon you must drown
You can't swim, guess you drown"
When Jesus talked, on the water he walked
Best do the same if ever you're caught
If ever in that storm you're caught

Birds they flew, beasts they knew
Storm was comin' and nothing to do
Noah gon' bail, ark gon' sail
Flood a-risin' and levee gon' fail
Water risin' and the levee done failed
Looked to the East, looked to the West
Sorry boys not one life vest
Had to flee, wife lost me
Parted by that Mississippi sea
Parted by a big ol' sea
Family in hand, spotted dry land
Nothing more than a bag of loose sand
They drew sticks, couldn't all fit,
Let baby go like Moses quick
Let that baby go real quick
President came, after the rain
Matching wits with the hurricane
President found when he looked around
"You can't swim, reckon you must drown
You can't swim, guess you drown"
When Jesus talked, on the water he walked
Best do the same if ever you're caught
If ever in that storm you're caught
Storm was comin' and nothing to do
Noah gon' bail, ark gon' sail
Flood a-risin' and levee gon' fail
Water risin' and the levee done failed
Looked to the East, looked to the West
Sorry boys not one life vest
Had to flee, wife lost me
Parted by that Mississippi sea
Parted by a big ol' sea
Family in hand, spotted dry land
Nothing more than a bag of loose sand
They drew sticks, couldn't all fit,
Let baby go like Moses quick
Let that baby go real quick
President came, after the rain
Matching wits with the hurricane
President found when he looked around
"You can't swim, reckon you must drown
You can't swim, guess you drown"
When Jesus talked, on the water he walked
Best do the same if ever you're caught
If ever in that storm you're caught
