Porgy and Bess: Act II: Scene 2: It Ain't Necessarily So - Anne Brown/Todd Duncan/Avon Long/Paul Robeson
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so
Little david was small but oh my
Little david was small but oh my
He fought big goliath
Who lay down and dieth
Little david was small but oh my
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
For he made his home in
That fishes abdomen
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
Little Moses was found in a stream
Little 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
They tell all your children
That devil he's a villain
It ain't necessarily so
To get into Heaven don't snap for a seven
Live clean don't have no fault
Oh I takes that gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
Methuselah lived nine hundred years
But who calls that livin'
But no gal will give in
To no man what's 900 years
I'm preachin' this sermon to show
It ain't nece ain't nece
Ain't nece ain't nece
It ain't necessarily so
