Lyrics Wake Up Jacob - Harry Belafonte

Wake up Jacob, day is a breaking

I said 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

(Chorus: Do love the Lord)

And I wanna see 'em more and more

Now when I get to heaven gonna live at ease

Cause me and God gonna do as we please

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

(Chorus: Do love the Lord)

Oh the Lord had set his people free

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
