Well you better run, you better run, better run
Oh you better run to the city of Ninveha
You better run, run, run
God called moses on the mountain top
And he placed the law in moses heart
And then he stuck this commandment in Moses mind
Then said Moses don't you leave my children behind
Well you better run, you better run, better run
Oh you better run to the city of Ninveha
You better run, run, run
Well people believe and they think they one right
You can pick up your bible and read it tonight
You can read in genesis you will understand
That Methuselah, he was the oldest man
Well he lived nine hundred and sixty nine
And then died and gone to heaven in good due time
Well you better run, you better run, better run
Oh you better run to the city of Ninveha
You better run, run, run
Well Paul's command for the pharisees
O well old Nicodemus, a ruler of the jews
Ah he came to Jesus, he came by night
He said I want to be born into the heavenly sight
Then came Christ spoke to nicodemus as a friend
Said if you want to go to heaven you must be born again
Oh well old nicodemus didn't understand
How could a man be born when he was so old
Well you better run, you better run, better run
Oh you better run to the city of Ninveha
You better run, run, run
Well beautiful Sampson from his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth
Ah one day ah sampson was walking along
Oh well sampson's strength was never found out
But Delilah came and sat on his knee
Said ah please tell me where your strength might be
He told her my strength lies in my hair
You jus shave a my head just as clean as my hand
And my strength will become as a natural man
Well you better run, you better run, better run
Oh you better run to the city of Ninveha
You better run, run, run
