Drew Vandewinckel - Good Old Jonah Lyrics





When Jonah's ship set sail from the port of Jaffa, with a one-way ticket to flee as far as he could
The Lord he sent a tempest like no and so the sailors threw him overboard
He found himself in the gut of a Biblical flounder, and prayed to God for 3 long days and nights
He vowed to do God's bidding, like a prophet's meant to do, for which he knew he'd pay a price

Well sometimes supplications do suffice.

Good old Jonah, headed for Ninveh, the people and their wilderness had surely gone astray
Good old Jonah, he didn't wanna go
He only went because God told him so

Jonah told the king that his days were numbered
Forty days to change their wickedness
So he called all his vassals and advisors too
Because they needed to act quick

Good old Jonah, headed for Ninveh, the people and their wilderness had surely gone astray
Good old Jonah, he didn't wanna go
He only went because God told him so

Jonah thought that God was too remorseful
And thought that he had no more cause to live
But then he was reminded of the hundred thousand souls
That didn't know left from right

Well sometimes supplications do suffice (that's right, if you do it right).

Jonah went out to Ninveh...
