Wake Up Jacob

(album: My Lord What A Mornin' - 1959)

Wake up Jacob, day is a breaking
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
(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
(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
