Wrestling Jacob

---

O wrestlin' Jacob, Jacob, day 's a-breakin';
I will not let thee go !
O wrestlin' Jacob, Jacob, day 's a-breakin';
He will not let me go !
O, I hold my brudder wid a tremblin' hand ;
I would not let him go !
I hold my sister wid a tremblin' hand ;
I would not let her go !


"O, Jacob do hang from a tremblin' limb,
He would not let him go !
O, Jacob do hang from a tremblin' limb ;
De Lord will bless my soul.
O wrestlin' Jacob, Jacob
