The Whale Has Swallowed Me
J. B. Lenoir

They say the Whale swallowed Jonah
Out in the deep blue sea
Sometime I gets that 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 …
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 …

Here's how he sings it in a video at YouTube:

(Note the verses are in a different order.)


THE WHALE HAS SWALLOWED ME
J. B. Lenoir

1. 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.

2. If I live,
If I don't get killed,
I do believe one day
I will finally cross over this hill.

3. The sun rise in the east,
Goes down in the west.
I do believe one day
Ev'ry living creature will get some rest.

4. I b'lieve the whale lies sick.
That's why I have the blues.
I do believe one day
He will finally turn me loose.
