It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
De t'ing dat yo' li'able to read in de Bible
It ain't necessarily so
Li'l David was small, but-oh my!
Li'l David was small, but-oh my!
He fought Big Goliath who lay down and dieth
Yes, Li'l David was small, but-oh my!
Jonah, he lived in de whale
Jonah, he lived in de whale
But fo' he made his home in dat fish's abdomen
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
Li'l Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water till Ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from dat stream
To get into hebben
Don't snap fo' a seben
Live clean! Don't have no fault!
Oh, I takes dat gospel whenever it's pos'ble!
But wid a little grain of salt!
Methus'lah live nine hundred years
Methus'lah live nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin' when no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years?
It ain't necessarily...
