Harry Belafonte - 3 Originals

Wake Up Jacob

Wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking
Wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking

I wanna go to heaven when I die, and I'm on my way
Yes, I wanna go to heaven when I die, and I'm on my way
I got some friends on the other shore (do love the Lord)
And I wanna see 'em more and more (do love the Lord)

Now when I get to heaven, gonna live at ease (do love the Lord)
'Cause me and my God gon' do as we please (do love the Lord)
Oh, wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
I said wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way

Oh, this is the year of the Jubilee (do love the Lord)
Oh, the Lord had set his people free (do love the Lord)
Oh, wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
I said wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way

(Oh, wake up, Jacob) day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
(I said wake up, Jacob) day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
Oh, wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
I said wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way

Oh, wake up, Jacob (wake up, Jacob, wake up, Jacob)
(Wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and) I'm on my way
I said wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
Oh, wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
Wake up, Jacob, day is a breaking, and I'm on my way
