He waits in line They watch the tide The ship has sunk 12 feet All to do is stand is disbelief There was a curse, On board that ship It would not just sink Accusing eyes blink ͚ 'He͛s our man! It͛s Jonah, he did curse our ship!' 'But wait now, I͛m just a man!' No good his fate was sealed Curse upon the sea He takes the lives of men Jonah͛s his name! But he does not foresee The pain he inflicts on them It͛s just a name! Is it just a name? Cast Jonah to the sea! He held his hands up Shields his blame It is just a name, 'Don͛t cast me to sea!' His teary eyes They told no lies But they would not give in They punished him 'He͛s our man! It͛s Jonah, he did curse our ship!' 'But wait now, I͛m just a man!' No good his fate was sealed The ocean calls He must yield Curse upon the sea He takes the lives of men Jonah͛s his name! But he does not foresee The pain he inflicts on them It͛s just a name! Is it just a name? Cast Jonah to the sea! It's not a name! Take his life, His fame He͛s crushed under the waves He͛s gone, His fate, Far away! Curse upon the sea He takes the lives of men Jonah͛s his name! But he does not foresee The pain he inflicts on them It͛s just a name! Is it just a name? Cast Jonah to the sea!
