Jonah And The Whale - Tim O'Brien

God sent Jonah down to Ninevah land

To preach the gospel to the wicked men

And to repent his wicked ways

I’m gonna overthrow the city in forty days"

God moved in the wind storm, he rose in the wind storm

He troubled everybody in mind

So Jonah went down to the sea shore

He made up his mind which way to go

He got himself a ship and he paid his fare

But God got angry with Jonah down there

God saw the ship and he came in time

The captain of the ship had a trouble in mind

And then he went into the deep

Where he saw old Jonah there fast asleep

He said «Hey stranger tell me your name»

«My name is Jonah and I came from the king

And all this trouble’s on account of me

Why don’t you throw me over board and let the ship sail free»

So they threw old Jonah overboard

A whale came up and he swallowed him whole

He took him on over to Ninevah land

Where he threw up Jonah on a bar of sand

Repeat first verse
