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...
|
|

Wake Up Jacob
