Jordan Am A Hard Road To Travel

Jordan Am A Hard Road To Travel - The Chieftains

Written by：Traditional

I'm gonna sing you a brand new song

It's all the truth for certain

We can't live high if we get by

And get on the other side of jordan

Oh pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel

Pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

The public schools and the highways

Are causing quite an alarm

Get a country men educated just a big

And he won't work on the farm

Now I don't know but I believe I'm right

The auto's ruined the country

Let's go back to the horse and buggy

And try to save some money

Oh pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel

Pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

I know a man an evangelist

His tabernacle's always full

The people come from miles around

Just to hear him shoot the bull

You can talk about your evangelists

You can talk about Mr ford too

But Henry's shaking more hell out of the folks

Than all the evangelists do

Oh pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel

Pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

Suddenly important days gonna important match

Goona reneleo evergathing in mountain

Gonna important host that domanite the muis

Take as on yours ever done

Oh pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel

Pull off your overcoat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe
