Tonart: G major•
Verse 1
Nicodemus the slave was of African birth
C
G
And was bought for a bag full of gold
He was reckoned as part
of the salt of the earth
C
G
And he died long ago, very old
D
And his last sad request
G
as they lay him to rest
D
G
In the trunk of an old hollow tree
Wake me up was his charge
At the first break of day
C
Wake me up for the great jubilee
G
D
G
There's a great time coming
And it's not far off
D
Been long, long, long on the way
G
So go and tell Elijah to hurry up home
C
G
D
And meet us by the gum tree
C
G
For to wake Nicodemus today
Nicodemus was never
the sport of the lash
Though the bullets had
C
G
oft crossed his path
There were none of his masters
so bold or so rash
C
G
As to face such a man in his wrath.
D
But his great heart with kindness
G
was filled to the brim,
D
G
He obeyed who was born to command,
And he longed for the mornin'
which then was so dim
Tis the mornin' which now
C
G
D
is at hand
G
There's a great time comin'
and it's not far off
D
Been long, long, long on the way
G
C
So go and tell Nigel to hurry up home
G
D
And meet us by the gum tree,
C
G
For to wake Nicodemus today.
