It Ain't Necessarily So - Paul Robeson/Clifford Greenwood
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The 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 an' dieth
Li'l David was small but oh my
Oh Jonah he lived in de whale
Oh Jonah he lived 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 Ol' Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him she said from dat stream
Wadoo
Well it ain't necessarily so
Well it ain't necessarily so
Dey tells all you chillun
De debble's a villun
But it ain't necessarily so
I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't necessarily so
