Intro

4x

She gave me head and heroin as sure as the sun would set

She let me cum onto her chin yet there’s one thing that I still regret

She gave me my son name of Jacob Dumb this child has been my hell

Nary a one with a like tongue to wean him from himself

4x

Jacob Dumb

you wean from yourself

2x

And Jacob Dumb he'd sit with us on our pineboard each night

Mumbled out the songs I sang; he sat between the legs of my wife

Paws on her thigh, tried to pass his age, he sang though his throat was young

A fly laid an egg, my wife shifted her weight, Jacob, don't live your name Dumb

4x

Jacob Dumb

Well don't live your name

2x

Our porch became a teeter totter

When Jacob came down he fell far from his father

My wife shift of weight forced Jacob so much closer

And Jacob Dumb

Well you are my shame

You are my shame

You are my shame

You are my shame

You are my shame

You are my shame

We lost again

We lost again

She gives him head and heroin and now he's truly dumb

Now not even Nestor could bring peace between myself and my son

Jacob fell far from his father's heart though the distance was not too long

Dumb, take my wife, my black tar vice, but don't take from me...

Child, don't take my songs

Don't take my songs
