Artist Henry Thomas
Album Bull Doze Blues

Lyrics

Hey Jonah, hallelujah
Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness
Preachin in that wilderness
Preachin in that wilderness
Go down yonder search the bottom of the ship
Seek and you'll find the sturdy good-hearted christian
Oh yonder to the power of god
Seek and you'll find the sturdy good-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 good-hearted christian
Show the commandment, so did say the lord
Could not find the sturdy good-hearted christian
Hey Jonah, hallelujah
Hey Jonah, preachin in that wilderness, preachin in that wilderness
Lord told Jonah said to go and preach
Jonah declared that he would not go
Hid his-self in the bottom of the ship
Search 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
