Old Man Luedecke - Jonah & the Whale lyrics

Well Jonah bore the mark of Cain His wife had thrown him out again They'd moved the country all around Hit the wall in Fort Mac town When his wife said she couldn't bear She said “you're moving on, I'm staying here” She said “oh my hands are tied” X2 Jonah Cried: “Oh Lord, I'm in the belly of the whale When I try I still fail It's been a long time of nothing, this old crime of nothing Thin dime of nothing is k**ing me, you're not the one who's Hands are tied No one sees the mark of cain It's a funny feeling you can't explain The boys gave jonah wider berth He seemed lower down than the earth When he begged and pleaded for another chance The foreman took a harder stance He said “oh my hands are tied” Etc. chorus Jonah tossed out on the sea On suicide 63 Suddenly a blinding light Shook the car with all its' might Deep inside he heard a voice Offering him a final choice That said “let your hands be untied” etc Chorus
