《Jonah》歌词

[00:00:00] Jonah - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

[00:00:00] Written by：Rosetta Tharpe

[00:00:07] In the bible we are told

[00:00:10] Of a prophet who was called

[00:00:14] To a city that was steeped in awful sin

[00:00:21] All the people in that place

[00:00:24] Were devoid of saving grace

[00:00:28] And the prophet wased afraid to enter in

[00:00:35] Oh some people don't believe

[00:00:38] That a whale could him receive

[00:00:42] But that does not make my song at all untrue

[00:00:49] There are whales on every side

[00:00:53] With their big mouths open wide

[00:00:56] Just take care my friend or one will swallow you

[00:01:32] Then this prophet

[00:01:34] Forth was sent

[00:01:36] That old nineveh

[00:01:37] Might repent

[00:01:39] But instead of that

[00:01:41] To tarshish he set sail

[00:01:46] Oh the winds began to blow

[00:01:50] Overboard did Jonah go

[00:01:53] And he found a Mercy seat

[00:01:56] Inside the whale

[00:02:01] In the cold and briny deep

[00:02:04] Tears of grief did Jonah weep

[00:02:08] And the big fish

[00:02:10] Threw him out upon the shore

[00:02:15] Then he gladly gladly went his way

[00:02:17] Yeah

[00:02:18] Preached to nineveh nineveh night and day

[00:02:22] And he did not care to backslide any more

[00:02:29] Oh some people don't believe

[00:02:33] That a whale could him receive

[00:02:37] But that does not make my song at all untrue

[00:02:44] There are whales

[00:02:45] Whales on every side

[00:02:47] Yeah

[00:02:48] With their big mouths open wide

[00:02:51] Just take care my friend or one will swallow you
