(Tony Martin&Amp;Carl Sweat&Amp;Brenda Sweat)

Jacob Was A Dirt Poor Farm Boy
Raised At The Fork İn The Road İn A Clapboard House
And Rachael Was A Land Baron'S Daughter
Born With A Silver Spoon İn Her Mouth
Her Daddy Said He Wouldn'T Stand
For Rachael To Waste Her Life With A Common Man
He Tried Hard To Keep Them Apart
But You Can'T Draw Lines İn A Young Girl'S Heart

So Late One Night By The Harvest Moon
Jacob Climed A Ladder Up To Rachael'S Room
He Knew His Place, İt Was Right Beside Her
Step By Step Up To Her World
Head Over Heels For A Brown-Eyed Girl
And Gettin' Caught Didn'T Seem To Matter
