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
