1
Jonah was a man who got a word from the Lord
2
"Go and preach the Gospel to the sinful land"
3
But he got on a ship and he tried to get away
4
And he ran into a storm in the middle of the sea
5
Now the Lord, He made the waves just roll so high
6
The ship begin to sink and they all begin to cry
7
So they pulled old Jonah out of the hold
8
And they dumped him in the water just to lighten up the load
9
Now the Lord made a whale, long and wide
10
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
11
And he swallowed up Jonah, hair and hide
12
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
13
Mmm, Lord, mmm, Lord
14
Now Jonah started to pray in the belly of the whale
15
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
16
He repented of his sins like a man in jail
17
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
18
Mmm, Lord, mmm, Lord
19
Now Jonah must've been a bad man; he must of been a sinner
20
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
21
'Cause when the whale got him down, he didn't like his dinner
22
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
23
Mmm, Lord, mmm, Lord
24
Well, he swum around the ocean, sick as he could be
25
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
26
And after three days, whoops, he had to set him free
27
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish, mmm?
28
So the whale spit Jonah out onto dry land
29
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
30
And he went on to preaching like a righteous man
31
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
32
Then the people quit their sins when they heard him in the town
33
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish?
34
So when you hear the call, don't you turn the Gospel down
35
Lord, Lord, wasn't that a fish, hmmm?
