Lyrics

(Kinky friedman)

Jacob climbed the ladder, climbed it to the sky
Said, "people, what's the matter ?
Heaven ain't so high
People, heaven ain't so high
When you got the shield
You got the shield
You got the shield
You got the shield of abraham."
Little children

You got the shield
You got the shield
You got the shield of abraham

The years were lights they wandered in the desert 40 years
And ol' moses told the children
"Brush away them tears
Hey, kids, this ain't no time for tears."

Children —
You got the shield
You got the shield
You got the shield of abraham
Little children

You got the shield
You got the shield
You got the shield of abraham

David, he fought goliath with nothing but a tiny stone
David, little david, god knows you're not alone
God knows you're not alone

David, you got the shield
You've got the shield
You got the shield of abraham
Little david

You got the shield
You got the shield
You got the shield of abraham

Rock and roll redeemer, oh people, hear my song
And let the music keep us loving, let the spirit keep us strong
Let your sweet love keep us strong

'Cause we've got the shield
We've got the shield
We've got the shield of abraham
Little children

We've got the shield
We've got the shield
We've got the shield of abraham

We've got the shield
We've got the shield
We've got the shield of abraham
Little children

We've got the shield
We've got the shield
We've got the shield ..
