Porter Wagoner - Wake Up Jacob lyrics

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 odor 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...
