Текст песни: Jonah and the Whale + перевод

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
