The Jubalaires Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh Noah, Oh oh Noah (Oh ho)
Oh Noah
God's gonna ride on the wind and tide
(Well it's a), Oh oh Noah
Oh oh Noah (Oh ho), 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

Hey children 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 cubits long
I want you to build it big and strong
I want it thirty high and fifty wide
So it will withstand the wind and tide

(Well it's a), Oh oh Noah
Oh oh Noah (Oh ho), Oh Noah
God's gonna ride on the wind and tide
(Well it's a), Oh oh Noah
Oh oh Noah (Oh ho), Oh Noah
God's gonna ride on the wind and tide
(God's gonna ride on the wind and tide)
(God's gonna ride on the wind and tide)
(God's gonna ride on the wind and tide)
Brother Noah
Brother Noah, my God's talking
(God's gonna ride on the wind and tide)
Say you'll ride on the wind and tide

Well after the foundation was laid
Then Noah began to hew and build
The ringing of the hammer cried judgment
The hewing of the saw cried sin and repent
A hundred years he hammered and sawed
Building the ark by the grace of God
When the ark was done God's voice was heard
He said, "Now, Noah let me tell you what to do."
"Call in the animals two by two."
So he called them in the ark two by two
He called the bird, the oxford, 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
Hitched the wind, his chariot decree
He steped on land and stood on the shore
And declared that time there wouldn't be no more

(Well, it's a), Oh Noah, Oh oh Noah




Oh oh Noah
God's gonna ride on the wind & tide

Overall Meaning

The Jubalairesโ€™s song โ€œNoahโ€ tells the story of Noah from the Christian Bible in a musical way. The song starts with the repetition of the name โ€œNoahโ€ which may represent the call to attention and a focal point to emphasize the main character. The chorus of the song, โ€œGod's gonna ride on the wind and tide,โ€ is a metaphor for Godโ€™s power and control over nature. This is in connection to Godโ€™s instruction to Noah to build an ark to save himself, his family, and all animals from the forthcoming great flood that would wipe out all living things on land.


The lyrics of โ€œNoahโ€ shows Godโ€™s disappointment in humans who indulge in evil practices leading Him to decide to destroy everything except for those saved in the ark. Noah was Godโ€™s chosen person who would build the ark to save himself, his family, and the animals. The song indicates that even though Noah had doubts and skepticism towards Godโ€™s plan, he followed His instructions and built the ark. As a result, he was one of the few humans alive after the flood. The song concludes with a dramatic depiction of Godโ€™s power, giving a final warning about the end of time.
