Thread Name: Help: the song Nicodemus the Slave.
Subject: RE: Help: the song Nicodemus the Slave.
The Burl Ives version has this chorus (from The Burl Ives Sing-Along Song Book, Frankiln Watts, 1963, p. 120):

There's a great time comin' and it's almost here,
Been long, long, long on the way.
So go and tell 'Liza to hurry up home,
And meet us by the gum tree down in the swamp
For to wake Nicodemus today.
