Hasn’t It Rained

Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
We liked it well at first
But it turned bad and then got worse
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained

The river turned into a sea
The river turned into a sea
We hauled and hammered wood
Racing hard against the flood
The water rose above the trees

Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
Forty days and forty nights
But our mighty boat is shipshape tight
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained

They came in two by two
They came in two by two
Every kind and every worth
Of all that moved upon the earth
They came in two by two

Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
We’re sailing above the hills
And all the drowned who had no gills
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained

The captain keeps on my case
The captain keeps on my case
Now there’s blue sky up above
But he’s still fretting for his dove
The captain keeps on my case

Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
Oh lord, hasn’t it rained
Now the captain’s rolling drunk
Singing naked on his bunk
Will we ever see dry land again?
