Yeah, there was Levi My first son Await your soul and rise with the sun Shake off your sloth And early rise To pay the mornin'
Sacrifice
Levi circles round my bedside Normal circles round my bedside Jacob circles round my bedside And Judge leans n' circles round my bedside
(They all be circlin' round my bedside)
Yeah, there was Normal My normal son He finished life work before the fadin' dawn I said Normal Now evenin' falls Oh sorry, Father I've been chasin' that moon's
Cloud
Normal circles round my bedside Jacob circles round my bedside And slothful Levi circles round my bedside
(Here comes this real son of mine actually)
Now, here's Dumb Jacob Dumb, not afraid While those two cowards, with his axe he did made Hacked up my chair Where I might lie Sun and moon, you see people They are one when nigh nigh
(You see, Judge Ban Lindsey. He came into my little neck of the woods that day. He started walkin' up the hill, he passed Jacob Dumb sittin' down there. My other two sons went down the hill and they each grabbed that bed that Jacob Dumb had done made. They hiked it up the hill. Hiked it passed me layin' on the porch. Hiked it up the stairs. Turned it sideways and placed it in the center of my bedroom. They picked me up, brought me up the stairs, turned me sideways to fit into my bedroom. They laid me on my bed, handmade by Jacob Dumb)
And they each took a corner of this bed They stuck out their arms Wrapped their fingers around one another's wrists And they started doing this
Circle and circle and circle (x14)
Circlin' round my bedside
Levi circles round my bedside Normal circles round my bedside And Jacob Dumb he circles round...
