Текст песни Jordan Is A Hard Road To Travel - Uncle Dave Macon

I'm a-gonna sing you a brand new song
It is 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 raisin' quite an alarm
Get a country man educated just a little
And he ain't a-gonna work on the farm

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 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 that's an evangelist
The tabernacle's always full
People will come from miles around
Just to hear him shoot the bull

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

You may talk about your evangelists
You may talk about Mr Ford too
With Henry really shakin' more hell out of folks
Than all of 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

It rained 40 nights, but it rained 40 days
Gonna rain on the Allegheny Mountains
Gonna rain 40 horses and Dominick mules
Gonna take us on the other side of Jordan
