Oh take my heart and let it beat
To the sound of dancing feet
Then take those feet and let them glide
My baby's sweet, gonna be my bride

I've got a girl, she's got a man	
All of God's children, they clap their hands	
I've got her heart and she's got mine	
My baby's good and I feel fine	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
Up	

Oh take my eyes and let them run
To the sight of distant drums
Then take those drums and let them boom-boom
My baby's fun, gonna be her groom

I've got a girl, she's got a man	
All of God's children, they clap their hands	
I've got her heart and she's got mine	
My baby's good and I feel fine	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
Up

Oh take my voice and let it yell
At the sight of wedding bells
Then take those bells and let them ring
My baby's swell now let's all sing

I've got a girl, she's got a man	
All of God's children, they clap their hands	
I've got her heart and she's got mine	
My baby's good and I feel fine	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
We are climbing Jacob's Ladder	
Up
