Tim O'Brien - Jonah And The Whale lyrics
Your rating:
God sent Jonah down to Ninevah land To preach the gospel to the wicked men And to repent his wicked ways I'm gonna overthrow the city in forty days†Chorus God moved in the wind storm, he rose in the wind storm He troubled everybody in mind So Jonah went down to the sea shore He made up his mind which way to go He got himself a ship and he paid his fare But God got angry with Jonah down there Chorus God saw the ship and he came in time The captain of the ship had a trouble in mind And then he went into the deep Where he saw old Jonah there fast asleep He said “Hey stranger tell me your name†“My name is Jonah and I came from the king And all this trouble's on account of me Why don't you throw me over board and let the ship sail free†Chorus So they threw old Jonah overboard A whale came up and he swallowed him whole He took him on over to Ninevah land Where he threw up Jonah on a bar of sand Chorus Repeat first verse
