Matthew's Begats

Andrew Peterson

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
