Mrs Susan Colley Bathurst Home for the Aged Recorded 1973 Tune: One More River To Cross
The Old MacquarieNoah he built himself an arkThere's one more river to cross He built it out of gumtree bark There's one more river to cross. One more river and that's the old Macquarie There's one more river, There's one more river to cross The animals went in one by one They all wanted to have some fun The animals went in two by two The wombat and the kangaroo The animals went in three by three The little bug and the frisky flea The animals went in four by four The buffaloes they got stuck in the door The animals went in five by five Some had children and some had wives The animals went in six by six Some carried swags and some carried sticks The animals went in seven by seven Some talked of hell and some of heaven The animals went in eight by eight Some were early and some were late The animals went in nine by nine Some in a circle and some in a line The animals went in ten by ten They had so much fun they said 'let's do it again' Perhaps you think there's another verse But there isn't! |
