The hits keep coming. Chattanooga News (May 28, 1913): War Jingles, 1861-5 ... NOAH'S ARK (Air:"Gideon's Band") Old Noah he did build an Ark, Old Noah he did build an Ark, Old Noah He did build an Ark, Of sassafras root and cinnamon bark [Chorus:] If you belong to the Rebel band, Here's my heart and here's my hand, If you belong to the Rebel band - They're fighting for our rights. The animals come in by two, The animals come in by two, The animals come in by two, The long-tailed 'possum and the kangaroo. [Chorus] Keep your shoes upon your feet, Keep your shoes upon your feet, Keep your shoes upon your feet, So you can walk in the golden street. [Chorus] Oh, ladies do the best you can, Oh, ladies do the best you can, Oh, ladies do the best you can, And never marry a Yankee man. [Chorus]
