Oh, Jonas!

Oh! Jonas
Oh! Jonas
Go to Nineveh, Jonas

God spoke to Jonas like this
Go to Nineveh to preach
He hid from the Lord's face
And went to Tarshish
Taking the ship, the waters stirred
It was Jonas' fault, they threw him into the sea

Oh! Jonas
Oh! Jonas, where are you
Oh! Jonas
Nineveh
But Jonas didn't go to Nineveh
He's at the bottom of the sea

The Lord prepared a great fish
So that Jonas could
Swallow, and soon Jonas was
In the belly of the fish, then he
Repented, humbly cried out to God
He was put out to do
What God commanded

It was Jonas, it was Jonas, he went to Nineveh, it was Jonas
Nineveh
Now Jonas went to Nineveh
To speak of God

Oh! Jonas
Oh! Jonas, he went to Nineveh, it was Jonas
Nineveh, Nineveh
He went to Nineveh, yes he did
