It Ain't Necessarily So Songtext
von Willie Nelson

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 with Goliath, who lie down and dieth
Little David was small, but oh my


Now Jonah, he lived in a whale
Now Jonah, he lived in a whale
He made his home in that fish's abdomen
Jonah, he lived in a whale

Little Moses was found in a stream
Little Moses was found in a stream
He floated on water ′til ol′ Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she said, from that stream

Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 900 years
Who calls that living when no girl will give in to no man
What′s 900 years


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
