《Sin is to Blame》歌词

[00:02:20] Jonah - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

[00:02:20] In the Bible we are told

[00:02:20] Of a prophet who was called

[00:02:20] To a city that was steeped in awful sin

[00:02:20] All the people in that place

[00:02:20] Were devoid of saving grace

[00:02:20] And the prophet seemed afraid to enter in

[00:02:20] Over there, over there

[00:02:20] In that land bright and fair

[00:02:20] Oh, he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] On the hallelujah strand

[00:02:20] I'll take Jonah by the hand

[00:02:20] And he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] Then this prophet forth was sent

[00:02:20] That old Nineveh might repent

[00:02:20] But instead of that to Tarshish he set sail

[00:02:20] Oh! the winds began to blow

[00:02:20] Overboard did Jonah go

[00:02:20] And he found a mercy seat inside the whale

[00:02:20] Over there, over there

[00:02:20] In that land bright and fair

[00:02:20] Oh, he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] On the hallelujah strand

[00:02:20] I'll take Jonah by the hand

[00:02:20] And he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] In the cold and briny deep

[00:02:20] Tears of grief did Jonah weep

[00:02:20] And the big fish threw him out upon the shore

[00:02:20] Then he gladly went his way

[00:02:20] Preached to Nineveh night and day

[00:02:20] And he did not care to backslide any more

[00:02:20] Over there, over there

[00:02:20] In that land bright and fair

[00:02:20] Oh, he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] On the hallelujah strand

[00:02:20] I'll take Jonah by the hand

[00:02:20] And he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] Oh, some people don't believe

[00:02:20] That a whale could him receive

[00:02:20] But that does not make my song at all untrue

[00:02:20] There are whales on every side

[00:02:20] With their big mouths open wide—

[00:02:20] Just take care, my friend, or one will swallow you

[00:02:20] Over there, over there

[00:02:20] In that land bright and fair

[00:02:20] Oh, he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] On the hallelujah strand

[00:02:20] I'll take Jonah by the hand

[00:02:20] And he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] Many souls are tossed about

[00:02:20] By the whales of fear and doubt

[00:02:20] But the Savior wants to take them by the hand

[00:02:20] If they will His voice obey

[00:02:20] He will save them right away

[00:02:20] And will guide them safely to the promised land

[00:02:20] Over there, over there

[00:02:20] In that land bright and fair

[00:02:20] Oh, he'll tell me all about it over there

[00:02:20] On the hallelujah strand

[00:02:20] I'll take Jonah by the hand

[00:02:20] And he'll tell me all about it over there
