It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
|
De t'ings dat yo' li'ble to read in de Bible
|
It ain't necessarily so
|
|
Li'l David was small, but oh my
|
Li'l David was small, but oh my
|
He fought big Goliath
|
who lay down and dieth
|
Li'l David was small, but oh my
|
|
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
|
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
|
Fo' he made his home in dat fish's abdomen
|
Oh, Jonah, he lived in de whale
|
|
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
|
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
|
He floated on water
|
Til Ole Pharoah's daughter
|
She fished him, she says, from that stream
|
|
It ain't necessarily so, it ain't necessarily so
|
Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villun
|
But it ain't necessarily so.
|
|
To get into Hebben don't snap for a sebben
|
Live clean, don have no fault
|
Oh, I takes dat gospel
|
Whenever it's pos'ble
|
But wid a grain of salt
|
|
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
|
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years
|
But who calls dat livin'
|
when no gal will give in
|
To no man what's nine hundred years?
|
|
I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
|
It ain't nessa, ain't nessa, ain't nessa, ain't nessa
|
Ain't necessarily so.
