Refrain:
Oh, de ol' ark's a-moverin', a-moverin', a-moverin',
De ol' ark's a-moverin' an' I'm a-goin' home.
Oh, de ol' ark's a-moverin', a-moverin', a-moverin',
De ol' ark's a-moverin' an' I'm a-goin' home.

1 See dat sistuh dressed so fine?
She ain't got religion on-a her min'. [Refrain]

Satan goin' come an' carry him away. [Refrain]

3 Ol' ark she reel, Ol' ark rock,
Ol' ark landed on de mountain-top. [Refrain]
