Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy |
| [00:15.89] |
Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house |
| [00:22.82] |
And Rachael was a land baron's daughter |
| [00:25.94] |
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth |
| [00:32.01] |
Her daddy said he wouldn't stand |
| [00:34.44] |
For Rachael to waste her life with a common man |
| [00:41.44] |
He tried hard to keep them apart |
| [00:44.13] |
But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart |
| [00:48.94] |
. |
| [00:50.19] |
So late one night by the harvest moon |
| [00:53.63] |
Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachael's room |
| [00:56.70] |
He knew his place, it was right beside her |
| [01:02.97] |
Step by step up to her world |
| [01:05.97] |
Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl |
| [01:08.91] |
And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter |
| [01:14.92] |
'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder |
| [01:21.29] |
. |
| [01:30.73] |
It'll be five years September |
| [01:33.72] |
Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her windowsill |
| [01:40.35] |
He swore he'd never forgive them |
| [01:43.41] |
But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will |
| [01:49.16] |
Now she climbs up on his knee |
| [01:52.28] |
Says, "Grandpa, tell a story, the one about me" |
| [01:58.53] |
He thinks back and his eyes shine |
| [02:01.54] |
Says, "Listen Child, once upon a time" |
| [02:07.35] |
. |
| [02:08.03] |
Late one night by the harvest moon |
| [02:11.03] |
Your daddy climbed a ladder to your mama's room |
| [02:14.16] |
He knew his place, it was right besde her |
| [02:20.29] |
Step by step up to her world |
| [02:23.47] |
Head over heels for my little girl |
| [02:26.66] |
And here you are, that's all that matters |
| [02:32.41] |
'Cause heaven was watin' at the top of Jacob's ladder |
| [02:37.78] |
. |
| [02:38.48] |
Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder |
| [02:43.23] |
