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'd 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.
