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 ninety-three 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 more dollars anywhere 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

but then again

there's another tale that's told around the town

says brother jacob is still alive and lives down underground

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
