Lucky Jacob
From the Album Troubadour
Baby boy, New Year’s Eve
Rosh Hashanah baby
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your daddy’s here
Filled with love, filled with grace
God now has a baby face
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your daddy’s here
My father’s eyes I do see
Looking now straight up at me
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your daddy’s here
Never thought he’d return
Guess I have a lot to learn
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your daddy’s here
Through this life I’ve known joy
None as pure as my baby boy
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your daddy’s here
All that is circles round
One day your feet will touch the ground
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your daddy’s here
Your mother she loves you so
Mother loves to help you grow
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your mother’s here
All of whom I have known
Are with us now in our sacred home
Lucky Jacob do not fear
Lucky Jacob your family’s here
