Translation
Bilingual
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
