Jonah Lyrics


Half an hour would change your strings and tuned up
Sizing the room up, checkin' the bar
Local girl's unspoken conversation
Misinformation plays guitar
They say, "Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale"
But I say, "There's no truth to that tale"
I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song
No one gives their dreams away too lightly
They hold them tightly warm against cold
One more year of traveling 'round this circuit
Then you can work it into gold
They say, "Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale", hmm
But I say, "There's no truth to that tale"
I know Jonah, he was swallowed by a song
Here's to all the boys who came along
Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases all night long
An' do you wonder where those boys have gone?

Do you wonder where those boys have gone?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Hackensaw Boys first began playing their joyful blend of old-time and bluegrass-tinged string-band music on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia in the autumn of 1999. Far from limiting themselves to the old-time canon, however, the Hackensaws have been first and foremost a band of songwriters. Their music, while drawing upon the spirit of the mountains, is sophisticated and informed by the best elements of punk rock and classic country music. As one reviewer put it: “Imagine the Carter Family meets the Ramones and you begin to get the picture.”
