歌曲歌詞

I've just arrived in town for to pass time away

And I settled all my business accordin

But I found it so cold when I went up to street

That I wish I was on the other side of Jordan

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

Jordan's a hard road to travel;

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

For Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe.

I hop to the East and I hop to the West

I saw old massa a-coming

With four blind horses and hitched up in front

To tote his money to de oder side ob Jordan.

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

Jordan's a hard road to travel;

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

For Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe.

David and Goliath had fighting all the day

A cullud man come up behind ’em,

He hit Goliath on de head, wid a bar of soft soap

And it sounded to de oder side ob Jordan.

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

Jordan's a hard road to travel;

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

For Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe.

Der’s been excitin’ times for de last month or two

About de great Presidential election

Frank Pierce got elected and sent a hasty plate ob soup *

To his opponent on de oder side ob Jordan.

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

Jordan's a hard road to travel;

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

For Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe.

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

Jordan's a hard road to travel;

So, take off your coat boys and roll up your sleeves,

For Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe.
