Old man Jonah sittin' in his chair got no teeth and he got no hair
He got no daughter and he got no son
He's just waitin' â€~till the rapture come
I said he, waitin' â€~till the rapture come

He never did marry and he never went far
Never bought a house or a big ole car
But he ain't no beggar and he sure ain't dumb
He's just waitin' â€~till the rapture come
I said he, waitin' â€~till the rapture come

And when the rapture come, Lord gonna call out his name
(When the rapture come)
Jonah gonna put down his cane
(When the rapture come)
Heaven gonna call him away
But until that day

Old man Jonah's got an old brass horn
He's had it since the day that he was reborn
But he ain't gonna blow for just anyone
He's gonna wait â€~till the rapture come
I said he, waitin' â€~till the rapture come

And when the rapture come, Lord gonna call out his name
(When the rapture come)
Oh, Jonah gonna put down his cane
(When the rapture come)
And heaven gonna take him away
But until that day

Preacher come a-walkin' down that country mile
He said, "Hey Jo you know it's been a while"
But Jonah keep his eyes on the settin' sun
He's just waitin' â€~till the rapture come
I said he, waitin' â€~till the rapture come

And when the rapture come, Lord gonna call out his name
(When the rapture come)
Jonah gonna put down his cane
(When the rapture come)
Heaven gonna call him away
But until that day

Oh, go come, come rapture come
I said, come, come, come, come rapture come
Come, come, come, come rapture come
Come, come, come, come rapture come
Come, come, come, come rapture come
Said, come, come, come, come rapture come

Well, come on in now
Come and take me away Lord
Come and take me away Lord
Come and take me away Lord
