Jonah and the Whale |
| Jonah was a man who got a word from the Lord |
| «Go and preach the Gospel to the sinful land» |
| But he got on a ship and he tried to get away |
| And he ran into a storm in the middle of the sea |
| Now the Lord, He made the waves just roll so high |
| The ship begin to sink and they all begin to cry |
| So they pulled ole Jonah out of the hole |
| And they jumped him in the water just to lighten up the load |
| Now the Lord made a whale, long and wide |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| And he swallowed up Jonah, hair and hide |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| Mmm, Lord, mmm, Lord |
| Now Jonah started to pray in the belly of the whale |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| He repented of his sins like a man in jail |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| Mmm, Lord, mmm, Lord |
| Now Jonah must o' been a bad man, he must o' been a sinner |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| 'Cos when the whale got him down, he didn’t like his dinner |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| Mmm, Lord, mmm, Lord |
| Well, he swum around the ocean, sick as he could be |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| And after three days, whoops, he had to set him free |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish, mmm |
| So the whale spit Jonah out onto dry land |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| And he went on to preaching like a righteous man |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| Then the people quit their sins when they heard him in the town |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish |
| So when you hear the call, don’t you turn the Gospel down |
| Lord, Lord waddnat a fish, mmm |
