I Want To Sing Bass
by The Florida Boys

Album: I'm Gonna Rise

Intro:
In the Biblical days, the good Lord spoke to Daniel. He spoke to Jonah and when I was around 17 years of age, He spoke to me.

Verse 1:
Well the good Lord spoke to Daniel.
You are a child of grace.
I'll send you down to Babylon
And there you will sing bass.
Well, Daniel said to the good Lord
That I cannot do
The good Lord said
If I can raise the dead
I can make a bass of you.

Chorus:
Well you must begin at the bottom
For His mercy you will know
He'll raise you high
On the day you die
But you have to start out low.

Verse 2:
Gene McDonald used to sing tenor
I had the highest voice around
The good Lord said
If I can raise the dead
I can make this boy get down

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:
Well the good Lord said to Jonah
You are a child of grace
I'll send you down to Nineveh
And there you will sing bass
Jonah said to the good Lord
I'm afraid that I will fail
But if you get real deep
In about a week
In the belly of a whale

Repeat Chorus
