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 awayAnd he ran into a storm in the middle of the seaNow the Lord, He made the waves just roll so highThe ship begin to sink and they all begin to crySo they pulled ole Jonah out of the holeAnd they jumped him in the water just to lighten up the loadNow the Lord made a whale, long and wide Lord, Lord waddnat a fishAnd he swallowed up Jonah, hair and hide Lord, Lord waddnat a fish,Mmm, Lord, mmm, LordNow Jonah started to pray in the belly of the whaleLord, Lord waddnat a fishHe repented of his sins like a man in jailLord, Lord waddnat a fishMmm, Lord, mmm, LordNow Jonah must o’ been a bad man, he must o’ been a sinnerLord, Lord waddnat a fishCos when the whale got him down, he didn’t like his dinnerLord, Lord waddnat a fishMmm, Lord, mmm, LordWell he swum around the ocean, sick as he could beLord, Lord waddnat a fishAnd after three days, whoops! he had to set him freeLord, Lord waddnat a fish, mmmSo the whale spit Jonah out onto dry landLord, Lord waddnat a fishAnd went on to preaching like a righteous manLord, Lord waddnat a fishThen the people quit their sins when they heard him the townLord, Lord waddnat a fishSo when you hear the call, don’t you turn the Gospel downLord, Lord waddnat a fish, mmm?
