Jonah in the Wilderness

Lyrics

[Chorus] Hey Jonah, hallelujah Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness Preachin in that wilderness Preachin in that wilderness [Verse 1] Go down yonder, search the bottom of the ship Seek and you'll find the sturdy true-hearted Christian Oh, yonder to the power of God Seek and you'll find the sturdy true-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 true-hearted Christian Show the commandment, so did say the lord Could not find the sturdy good-hearted Christian [Chorus] Hey Jonah, hallelujah Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness Preachin in that wilderness [Verse 2] Lord told Jonah, said to go in and preach Jonah declared that he would not go Hid his-self in the bottom of the ship Searched 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 laid 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 [Chorus] Hey Jonah, hallelujah Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness Preachin in that wilderness [Verse 3] Ship was rocked from the shore to shore Ship was rocked from the door to door God declared that the ship went wrong Jonah gotta leave that livin' land [Chorus] Hey Jonah, hallelujah Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness Preachin' in that wilderness [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Hey Jonah, hallelujah Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness Hey Jonah, hallelujah Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness
