Chorus:
Tell me who built the ark?
Noah built it,
Who built the ark?
Tell me, who built the ark?
Noah built it, he hewed his timber down.

1 The first thing that Noah did, he viewed the country round,
The second thing that Noah did, he chose his spot of ground. [Chorus]

2 The second thing that Noah did, he chose his spot of ground,
The third thing that Noah did, he hewed his timber down. [Chorus]

3 The thirst thing that Noah did, he hewed his timber down,
The fourth thing that Noah did,
he hewed his timber round. [Chorus]
