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
