[Verse 1]
C G7
The oldest fires and souls of men who searched for wealth
Am F
Jacob found his gold in pure artesian wells
C G7
Settlers came and filled the town he built himself
Am G
Jacob ruled his empire like a king
[Verse 2]
C G7
Then love for money took control of Jacob’s life
Am F
Juan Calderone then took control of Jacob’s wife
C G7
And in his arms she found the love she’d been denied
C G7 C
Katherine couldn’t live with Jacob’s greed
[Chorus]
F G7
Young folks live in fear of Jacob’s well
Em Am
Old folks know the story but they’ll never tell
F C Am
Secrets hidden in the depths of hell
C G7 Am
And the ghostly forms that haunt the mouth of Jacob’s well
[Verse 3]
C G7
One hot night in late July so the story goes
Am F
Jacob followed Katherine as she met her beau
C G7
And in the shadows as he watched their love affair unfold
Am G7
Some say Jacob sent their souls to hell
[Verse 4]
C G7
No one knows for certain just what happened then
Am F
Juan Calderone and Katherine were never seen again
C G7
Jacob said they ran away to live in sin
Am G7 C
But the restless waters rage in Jacob’s well
[Chorus]
