Hank Snow - Im glad im on the inside looking out

^CIn the days of Noah ^Fjust before the ^Cflood When the wicked world had all forgotten ^G7God Brother ^CNoah built a boat which ^Fabove God's wrath did float And the ^G7people saw that they were made of ^Cmud

As the doors stood open ^Fwith the gang plank ^Cout Noah and his family entered with a ^G7shout When the ^Cscoffers stretched their necks Noah stepped ^Fout on the deck and said I'm so ^G7glad I'm on the inside looking ^Cout

Oh I'd rather be on the ^Finside looking ^Cout Than to ^Fbe upon the outside looking ^Cin When the ^G7rain began to fall ^Csinners on the Lord did call But the ^D7door was shut and night was ^G7setting in

^CThen old Noah from the ^Fwindow looking ^Cout Gazed to ^Fheaven beyond the water ^Cspout And he ^G7said I thank the Lord that ^CI took Him at his ^Fword I'm so ^G7glad I'm on the inside looking ^Cout

Good old Daniel lived in ^FBabylon long ^Cago And he had the grace to tell the devil ^G7no Though ^Che prayed three times a day In the ^Fgood old fashioned way They ^G7said he to the lions den must ^Cgo

And lions made him wel^Fcomed to their ^Chome For they knew he was nothing but ^G7backbone When the ^Cking looked in and said are you ^Falive or are you dead He was ^G7stirred as Daniel spoke in gentle ^Ctone

Oh I'd rather be on the ^Finside looking ^Cout Than to ^Fbe upon the outside looking ^Cin While you ^G7paced the palace floor ^CI had naught to do but snore Jesus ^D7put a padlock on each lions ^G7chin

Good ^Cold Daniel from the ^Finside looking ^Cout Don’t ^Fyou think that he felt good ^Cenough to shout Then he ^G7said long live the king and ^Cthen started in to ^Fsing I'm so ^G7glad I'm on the inside looking ^Cout
