Long Time Ago Lyrics by Fay Hield

Old Adam

2016

[Verse 1]
In Frisco Bay there were three ships
To me way hey hey-oh
In Frisco Bay there were three ships
A long time ago
And one of them ships was Noah's old ark
To me way hey hey-oh
Covered all over with hickory bark
A long time ago
[Chorus]
It’s a long, long time and a very long time
A long time ago
[Verse 2]
They took two animals of every kind
To me way hey hey-oh
The great big stag and his heathery hind
A long time ago
The cat bit the rat with a howl and a yowl
To me way hey hey-oh
The bull and the cow they started t'row
A long time ago
[Chorus]
It’s a long, long time and a very long time
A long time ago
[Verse 3]
Then said old Noah with a flick of his whip
To me way hey hey-oh
Come stop this row or they'll scuttle the ship
A long time ago
But the bull struck his horn through the side of the ark
To me way hey hey-oh
And the little black dog he started t'bark
A long time ago
[Chorus]
It’s a long, long time and a very long time
A long time ago
[Verse 4]
So Noah took the dog shoved its nose up the hole
To me way hey hey-oh
Ever since then dogs' nose has been cold
A long time ago
It's a long long time and a very long time
To me way hey hey-oh
A long, long time and a very long time
A long time ago
[Chorus]
It’s a long, long time and a very long time
A long time ago
A long time ago
