New Deal String Band - Jordan Is A Hard Road Lyrics

Now, I don't know, but I believe
The automobile's ruined the country
Let's go back to the horse and buggy
And try to save some money

Chorus:
Take off your overcoat and roll up your sleeve
Jordan is a hard road to travel
Take off your overcoat and roll up your sleeve
Jordan is a hard road to travel, I believe

The public schools and the highways
Are raising quite an alarm
Y' get a country boy educated just a little
Well, he ain't a-gonna stay on the farm

(Chorus)

I know a man who's an evangelist
His tabernacle's always full
People keep coming from miles around
Just to hear him shoot the bull

(Chorus)

You can talk about your evangelists
You can talk about Henry Ford, too
Henry's shaking more Hell out of folks
Than all the evangelists do

(Chorus)

I've been to the East and I've been to the West
I've been to old Virginny
I run my head in a hornets' nest
And I never got stung on any

(Chorus)

It rained 40 days and it rained 40 nights
And it rained on the Alleghany Mountains
It rained 40 horses and a Dominecker mule
And they landed on the other side of Jordan
