[E] [A]
Oh Jonah was a preacher [E] like some [A] preachers of our day
No matter what the master [E] said he wanted [A] things his way
Out on the raging water [E] while running from [A] the Lord
The ship was going under [E] so they threw him overboard
[A] Well the well did, yes it did, the well did, I know it did, the well did
Swallow Jonah down, the well did, yes it did, the well did, I know it did, the well did
Swallow Jonah down, the well did, yes
[A] it did, the well did, I know it did, the well did
Swallow Jonah down
Oh
[E] [A]
Jonah started sinking and surely he would drown
God prepared a big [E] fish and he swallowed [A] Jonah down
Now Jonah started bleeding in [E] the belly [E] of the well
God heard Jonah praying and the Bible plainly tells
That he sped him up, yes he did, he sped him up, I know he did, he sped him up on some sandy land
Sped him up, yes he did, he sped him up, I know he did, he sped him [A] up on some sandy land
Sped him up on some sandy
Sped him up on some sandy land
[A] Well the well did, yes it did, the well did, I know it did, the well did
[E] Swallow Jonah down, the well did, yes it did, the well did, I know it did, the well did
[A] Swallow Jonah down, the well did, swallow Jonah
The well did swallow Jonah down
Yes, he sped him up, yes he did, he sped him up, I know he did, he sped him up on [E] some sandy land
Sped him up, yes he did, he sped him up, I know he did, he sped him up on [A] some sandy land
Sped him up on some sandy
Sped him up on some sandy land
