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
|
