No. 62. Wrestling Jacob

Wrestling Jacob, Jacob,
day is a-breaking,
Wrestling Jacob, Jacob,
I will not let thee go.
Let me go, Jacob.
I will not let thee go.
Let me go, Jacob.
I will not let thee go,
Until thou bless me,
I will not let thee go;
Until thou bless me,
I will not let thee go.
Wrestling Jacob, Jacob,
day is a-breaking,
Wrestling Jacob,
I will not let thee go.
I'll hold thee till the break of day,
I will not let thee go,
Until thou tell me what's thy name,
I will not let thee go.
(or this)
I'll wrestle till the break of day,
I will not let thee go,
Until thou come and bless my soul,
I will not let thee go.
