Brother Jacob |
| Hey Brother Jacob |
| I trust you’re well today |
| You’ve been dealin' with the devil |
| And cast your soul away |
| Ol' Brother Jacob lived 93 years |
| Not a second of it on his knees |
| He lived in a little wood shanty |
| Down the road a little piece |
| All he ever seemed to care about |
| Was his money that he saved so long |
| Always tryin' to get a few dollars |
| Any way, right or wrong |
| Hey Brother Jacob |
| I trust you’re well today |
| You’ve been dealin' with the devil |
| And cast your soul away |
| The only part that you have to doubt |
| Is where it says you don’t have to pay |
| Ol' Brother Jacob gambled and lost |
| When he sold his soul today |
| The story came down from the mountain town |
| Brother Jacob was called away |
| They say that the devil came for him |
| And they swear it to this very day |
| Then again, there’s another tale |
| That’s told around the town |
| Says Brother Jacob is still alive |
| And livin' underground |
