"GO JONAH"

The Lord said, "Go, go, Jonah,
Go to the city of Nineveh.
The Lord said, "Go, go, Jonah,
Go to the city of Nineveh
And tell them, tell them
I'm going to punish them for their sins.
And tell them, tell them,
I'm going to punish them for their sins.

But Jonah went, went away,
Went away from the Lord's command.
But Jonah went, went away,
Went away from the Lord's command.
He went far away,
He went away in a boat.
He went far away,
He went away in a boat.

Jonah fell in to the sea;
A big fish came and swallowed him up!
Jonah fell in to the sea;
A big fish came and swallowed him up!
In the fish Jonah stayed
Three nights and three days.
In the fish Jonah stayed
Three nights and three days.

The big fish opened up its mouth;
Jonah, he went running out.
The big fish opened up his mouth;
Jonah, he went running out,
And went on God's way
And he preached to Nineveh night and day;
And went on God's way
And he preached to Nineveh night and day.
Go on God's way,
You'll be happy if you obey.
Go on God's way,
You'll be happy if you obey.
