They say the whale swallowed Jonah
Out in the deep blue sea
Sometime I gets that old funny feeling
That same old whale has swallowed me
The sun rise in the east
Goes down in the west
Sometime I gets that old feeling
Every leaving creature needs some rest
I believe the whale, I say
That's why I have this blues
I do believe one day
He will finally turn me a loose
Now if I live
I pray if I don't get killed
I do believe one day
I will finally cross over that hill
