Sing You Children

Words & Music by Gerald Nelson / Fred Burch

Oh Jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale
Well Jonah had a plan, he knew he couldn't fail

He raised his head on high
And looking for the sky
And he sang his song so pretty
The whale told him goodbye

You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away

Well Moses said good Lord
Open up these waters for me
So I can get your chidren
Across the salty sea

Well the Lord parted the waters
And singing hand in hand
Moses and the children
Walked over to the promised land

You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away

Oh Joshua had a plan
At the walls of Jericho
He'd march around those walls
And on his horn he'd blow

That horn would play a tune
And sing a happy song
When Joshua got through
Those walls came tumbling down

You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
You got to sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
