Jacob and 2 Women Lyrics & Tabs by Carolyn Arends
Jacob and 2 Women
guitar chords lyrics
Jacob he loved Rachel
And Rachel she loved him
And Leah was just there for dramatic effect
Well it's right there in the Bible
So it must not be a sin
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick
And her sky is just a petal
Pressed in a book of a memory
Of the time he thought he loved her
And they kissed
And her friends say, "He's a devil"
But she says, "No, he is a dream"
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Now Jacob got two women
And a whole house full of kids
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Now Jacob got two women
And a whole house full of kids
And he schemed his way back to the promised land
And he finds it's one thing to win 'em
It's another to keep 'em content
When he knows that he is only just one man
And his sky's an empty bottle
And when he's drunk the ocean dry
He sails off three sheets to some reckless wind
And his friends say, "Ain't it awful"
And he says, "No, I think it's fine"
And this is the world as best as I can remember it
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Now Rachel's weeping for the children
That she thought she could not bear
And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide
She wishes she was with them
But she just looks and they're not there
Seems love comes for just a moment and then it passes on by
And her sky is just a bandit
Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose
'Cause he stole the moon and must be made to pay for it
And her friends say, "My, that's tragic"
She says, "Especially for the moon"
This is the world as best as I can remember it
This is the world as best as I can remember it
This is the world as best as I can remember it
