Jordan

Jordan - Bellowhead

Written by：trad./arr. Jon Boden

I looked to the east I looked to the west

I saw John ball a coming a calling

With four blind horses riding in the clouds

To look at the other side of Jordan

Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

Thunder in the clouds lightning in the trees

What do you think that I told him

It's goodbye son till the next kingdom come

And I'll meet you on the other side of Jordan

Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

The ladies of England have made a big address

About slavery and hardships according

They better look at home to their own white slaves

They're starving on the english side of Jordan

Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

There were snakes in ireland not many years ago

St patrick saw the vermin all a crawling

But with his shillelagh he hit them on the head

And he drove them 'cross the other side of Jordan

Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

And jonah spent three days in the belly of a whale

Three days and two nights then according

He tickled him with a straw

Wich caused him to laugh

And he chucked him on the other side of Jordan

Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe
