Jacob And Sons |
Way way back many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began |
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, a fine example of a family man |
Jacob, Jacob and sons, depended on farming to earn their keep |
Jacob, Jacob and sons, spent all of their days in the fields with sheep |
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation |
Thanks to the number of children he’d had |
He was also known as Israel but most of the time |
His sons and his wives used to call him dad |
Jacob, Jacob and sons, men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook |
Jacob, Jacob and sons, a remarkable family in anyone’s book |
Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel |
With Simeon and Levi the next in line |
Napthali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan |
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine |
Jacob, Jacob and sons, Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one |
Jacob, Jacob and sons, Joseph -- Jacob’s favorite son |
Jacob, Jacob and sons |
