It Ain't Necessarily So (Remastered 2018) Lyrics
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
De t'ings dat yo' li'ble 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
Li'l David was small but oh my
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
Oh Jonah he ived in de whale
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 Pharoah's daughter
She fished him she says from that stream
It ain't necessarily so it ain't necessarily so
Dey tell all you chillun de debble's a villun
But 'tain't necessarily so
To get into Hebben don't snap for a sebben
Live clean don have no fault
Oh I takes dat gospel whenever it's pos ble
But wid a grain of salt
Methus lah lived nine hundred years
Methus lah lived nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin' when no gal will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years
I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nessa ain't nessa
Ain't nessa ain't nessa ain't necessarily so
