   *til thou bless me,
     I will not let thee go.

   Wrestling Jacob, Jacob,
     day is a-breaking,
   Wrestling Jacob, 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.
