Soundies were an early form of music video. Developed prior to television, they played on 16mm film projectors that were viewed on small screens like a video jukebox and captured some of the top artists of the day. This reel, preserved by the Prelinger Archive features the legendary vocal quartet "The Jubalaires" performing "Noah"






Noah Lyrics:
Written by Orville Brooks, Ted Brooks, Caleb Ginyard & George McFadden

Oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

God's gonna ride on the wind and tide

Oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide

Brother Noah, my god’s talking (God's gonna ride on the wind and tide)

Say you'll ride on the wind and tide



[Verse 1]

Hey stop, be still, and listen to me

God walked down to the rowdy sea

He declared that evil had descended to man

And then he decided to destroy the land

He spoke to Noah and Noah stopped

He said "Noah, I want you to build me an ark"

I want you to build it three cubit long

I want you to build it big and strong

I want you to build it fifty high and fifty wide

So it will withstand the wind and tide



[Hook]

Oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

God's gonna ride on the wind and tide

Oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide

Brother Noah, my god’s talking (God's gonna ride on the wind and tide)

Say you'll ride on the wind and tide





[Verse 2]

Well after the foundation was laid

Then Brother Noah began to hew and build

The ringing of the hammer that judgement

The hewing of the saw that sinner repent

One hundred years he hammered and sawed

Building the ark by the grace of God

When the ark was built God's voice was heard

He said "Now, Noah let me tell you what to do.”

“I want you to call in the animals two by two.”

So he called them in the ark two by two

Bears, the oxford, and the kangaroo

Then he called in Japeth, and Ham, and Shem

Then God began to flood the land

He raised his hands to heaven on high

Shook the stars and they moved from the sky

Shook the mountains, he troubled the sea

Hist the wind, his chariot decree

He stood on land and stood on the shore

And declared that time there wouldn't be no more



[Outro]

Oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

Oh oh Noah

God's gonna ride on the wind & tide
