Jonah in the Wilderness

[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
