Lyrics
I'm gonna sing you a brand new song
A song that's true for certain
We can't get 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
Now the public schools and the highways
Are causing quite an alarm
Get a country man educated just to pay
Then he ain't a-gonna work on the farm
Now I don't know but I think I'm right
The autos ruin the country
Let's go back to the horse and the buggy
And try and seize 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
That old man evangelist
Tabernacle's always full
People come from miles around
Just to hear him shoot the bull
Well, you can talk about your evangelist
You can talk about Mr. Ford, too
With Henry shaking more hell out of folks
Than all the evangelists knew
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
It's gonna rain forty days, gonna rain forty nights
Gonna rain on the Allegheny Mountains
It's gonna rain forty horses and dominicker mules
Take us on the other side of Jordan
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
Hey!
Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe!
