Jacob's Ladder
Recorded by Mark Wills
Written by Tony Martin, Cal Sweat, Brenda Sweat

G
Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
C
Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house

And Rachael was a land baron's daughter
G
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth


Her daddy said he wouldn't stand
C
For Rachael to waste her life with a common man
Am
He tried hard to keep them apart
C D7
But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart

C
So late one night by the harvest moon

Jacob climbed a ladder up to Rachael's room
G
He knew his place it was right beside her
C
Step by step up to her world

Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
G
And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter
Am C D7 G
Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder


It'll be five years September
C
Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill

He swore he'd never forgive them
G
But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will


Now she climbs up on his knee
C
Says grandpa tell a story the one about me
Am
He thinks back and his eyes shine
C D7
Says listen child once upon a time


C
Late one night by the harvest moon

Your daddy climbed a ladder to your momma's room
G
He knew his place it was right beside her
C
Step by step up to her world

Head over heels for my little girl
G
And here you are that's all that matters
Am C D7 G Em
Cause heaven was watin' at the top of Jacob's ladder

Am C D7 G
Oh an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder
