Fo'ty days fo'ty nights When de rain kept a-fallin', De wicked clumbd de tree, An' for help kept a-callin', For they heard de waters wailin' Didn't it rain, rain Didn't it rain, Tell me Noah, didn't it rain Some clim'd de mountain, Some clim'd de hill, Some started sailin' An' a-rowin' wid a will; Some tried swimmin' An' I guess they're swimmin' still, For they heard de waters roarin' Didn't it rain, rain, didn't it rain, Tell me Noah, didn' it rain, Didn' it rain.
