Wake Up Jacob

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
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 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
