Lyrics:
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We're brothers, and sisters, all
Every rung goes
I remember that dance
On the roof of my car
When St. Lucy's mad torch
Took away our best bar
Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Brothers, sisters, all
Every rung goes higher
Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintry white
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
A barefoot choir in prayer
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We're brothers, and sisters, all
Every rung goes
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Brothers, sisters, all
Every rung goes higher
Jesus is beside himself
Jacob's in a state of decimation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with
Jacob Green got busted for possession
Next morning early he appeared in court
But he was sent to jail to wait to be trialed at some later date
Next
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
We are climbing Jacob's ladder
Brothers, sisters, all
Every rung goes higher
I remember that dance
On the roof of my car
When St. Lucy's mad torch
Took away our best bar
Say we drank
And we prayed
Some just sat
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
His name is my name too
When ever we go out
The people always shout
There goes
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
the son of St. Jacobs church organ
aha son of St. Jacobs church organ
aha
no I'm not that stupidly childish
and the wind it kind of blows me
kind of blows
[NARRATOR:]
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
with a parking brake to show em who's the boss
It's my intention to inspire
Instead I'm preachin to the choir
I had some money but I blew it living high
cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was
Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintry white
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
A barefoot choir in prayer
Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintry white
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
A barefoot choir in prayer
and down the avenue, holiday dreams comin' true
A choir singing songs of cheer, carols we all love to hear
Rudolph with his glowin' nose, lovers under
Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
Fields of cotton look wintry white
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
A barefoot choir in prayer
Hmm's, la-la's
Boys choir softly sings
Jacob Green got busted for possession
Next morning early he appeared in court
But he was sent to jail to wait
To be trialed at some later date
A-do-ba-do-dun-do-ba-do-do
A barefoot choir in prayer
Oh, it fills the air
Mississippi folks are gathering there
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans
