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
