Wake Up Jacob Lyrics

Wake Up Jacob lyrics

Far away on yonder hill old Blue's a barking at a coon I guess he's chased all
night

And it's just about two hours before dawning and Jacob's cabin doesn't show a
light

In the ruffle of the leaves beside my pathway a small animal appeared black and
white

And as I run for life towards Jacob's cabin

The pole cat right behind me smelling up the country side

I holered wake up Jacob stir up a light did you ever see a man and a pole cat
fight

Turn on the light and let me in wake up Jacob let me in

[ fiddle - el.banjo ]

Well the pole cat looked at me with his tail held high

As frantically I beat on Jacob's door

Then what a welcome sound to my nervous ears

As I heard Jacob's big feet hit the floor

As I waited there for Jacob to unlock the door

The pole cat's perfume filled the morning air

And the door was so strong that my eyes burned

And as the smell began to curl my hair

I holered wake up Jacob...

Wake up Jacob...

Wake up Jacob...
