Head East Brother Jacob Lyrics

Brother Jacob Lyrics

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



Hey brother Jacob

I trust you're well today

You've been dealin' with the devil

And cast your soul away



Hey brother Jacob

I trust you're well today

You've been dealin' with the devil

And cast your soul away
