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 Jehoshophat 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.
The 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.
