Jonah In The Wilderness

Hey Jonah, hallelujah

Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness

Preachin in that wilderness

Preachin in that wilderness

Go down yonder search the bottom of the ship

Seek and you'll find the sturdy good-hearted christian

Oh yonder to the power of god

Seek and you'll find the sturdy good-hearted christian

Surely come back, so say the lord

Could not find the sturdy good-hearted christian

Oh yonder to the hills i saw

Seek and you'll find the sturdy good-hearted christian

Show the commandment, so did say the lord

Could not find the sturdy good-hearted christian

Hey Jonah, hallelujah

Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness, preachin in that wilderness

Lord told Jonah said to go and preach

Jonah declared that he would not go

Hid his-self in the bottom of the ship

Search that ship from bottom to top

A hail brother Jonah sent overboard

At last come a bird that dropped the seed

Drop the seed that sprung the roots

From the root that sprung the vine

From the vine that sprung the shade

Under that shade brother Jonah layed

I walked right up into mary's room

To try the shoes that Jonah tried on

When we get to heaven

I will sit and tell

I've escaped old death in heaven

Hey Jonah, hallelujah

Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness, preachin in that wilderness

Ship was rocked from shore to shore

Ship was rocked from the door to door

God declared that the ship went wrong

Jonah gotta leave that livin land

Hey Jonah, hallelujah

Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness

God told noah go to build an ark

God told noah go to build an ark

Declared to god that he would not build

Hundred-40 days and 40 nights

Hey Jonah, hallelujah

Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness

Hey Jonah, hallelujah

hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness
