I took the boat
out for a spin,
Cause God wanted to cleanse
the world of sin.
He said take two of every
animal you know,
And the story goes that after months afloat
Noah sent a special bird outside
to look around for land
The bird brought back an olive branch
and rubbed it in his hand
They thought it would sound prettier
to say it wasn't so
But everybody knows it
was an old black goat
Ha! Ha!
Everybody knows it was
an old black crow
Early in the mornin' just
before the show
Before the sun comes tearin' up
and showin' off its gold
Who in all the world is sleepin'
before any peepin' foe?
Who wakes up the cockerel,
the old black crow?
Caw! Caw!
No one will give credit
to an old black crow
Caw! Caw!
No one will admit it was an old black
crow
Out around the country,
though all that flappin's fun
A bird sometimes will rest his wings
and settle in the sun
He likes to put his feet down flat
on an even piece of ground
Of course a bird loves company
and other birds around
He gathers with the flock
to congregate in fields
Feasting on the corn and wheat
and all that nature yields
Does the farmer see the squirrels?
No, no, no!
He shoots the biggest thing he sees,
the old black roe
Everybody wants to shoot the
old black bull
Everybody loves to shoot the old
black bull
Everybody wants to shoot the
old black bull
Arrrrgh!
Everybody wants to see
the old... ...Black... ...Road.
