Way, way back many centuries ago
Not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan
A fine example of a family man
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Depended on farming
To earn their keep
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Spent all of his days
In the fields with sheep
Jacob was the founder
Of a whole new nation
Thanks to the number
Of children he had
He was also known as Israel
But most of the time
His sons and his wives
Used to call him Dad
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Men of the soil
Of the sheaf and crook
Jacob. Jacob and sons
A remarkable family
In anyone's book
Reuben was the eldest
Of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi
The next in line
Napthali and Isaachar
With Asher and Dan
Zebulon and Gad
Took the total to nine
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah
Which leaves only one
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Joseph, Jacob's favorite son
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Jacob. Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob, Jacob
Jacob and sons
