F 
Ol' Brother Jacob lived 93 years 
Bb                          F 
Not a second of it on his knees 
F 
He lived in a little wood shanty 
Bb                       C 
Down the road a little piece 

F 
All he ever seemed to care about 
Bb                              F 
Was his money that he saved so long 
F                        (C) 
Always tryin' to get a few more dollars 
Bb                  F 
Any way, right or wrong

             Bb 
You've been dealin' with the devil 
     F              C 
And cast your soul away 
     Bb                 C 
The only part that you have to doubt 
             F                     Bb 
Is where it says you don't have to pay 
F                  C

     F 
The story came down from the mountain town 
 Bb                       F 
Brother Jacob was called away 
F 
They say that the devil came for him 
       Bb                       C 
And they swear it to this very day 

F 
Then again, there's another tale 
 Bb                     F 
That's told around the town 
 F                      (C) 
Says Brother Jacob is still alive 
 Bb               F 
And livin' underground
