DON'T YOU WANT TO GO ALONG? William C. Blades - 1921
A mighty tide is rising
And it's rising very fast,
And the ark is ready waiting
And it's waiting to the last;
It's going down the river,
Don't you want to go along?
And there's room for every sinner
If you'll only go along.
The tide is on the river
And the tide is on the shore,
And the ark is rocking, rocking
Like it never did before;
It's going down the river,
Don't you want to go along?
And there's room for every sinner
If you'll only go along.
