Abraham had Isaac

Isaac, he had Jacob

Jacob, he had Judah and his kin

Then Perez and Zerah

Came from Judah's woman, Tamar

Perez, he brought Hezron up

And then came


Aram, then Amminadab

Then Nahshon, who was then the dad of Salmon 

Who with Rahab fathered Boaz

Ruth, she married Boaz who had Obed

Who had Jesse

Jesse, he had David who we know as king


David, he had Solomon by dead Uriah's wife

Solomon, well you all know him

He had good old Rehoboam

Followed by Abijah who had Asa

Asa had Jehoshaphat had Joram had Uzziah

Who had Jotham then Ahaz then Hezekiah


Followed by Manasseh who had Amon

Who was a man 

Who was father of a good boy named Josiah

Who grandfathered Jehoiachin 

Who caused the Babylonian captivity

Because he was a liar


Then he had Shealtiel, who begat Zerubbabel

Who had Abiud who had Eliakim

Eliakim had Azor who had Zadok who had Akim

Akim was the father of Eliud then

He had Eleazar who had Matthan who had Jacob

Now, listen very closely

I don't want to sing this twice

Jacob was the father of Joseph

The husband of Mary

The mother of Christ
