Jordan Is A Hard Road lyrics

1: 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!

Ref: 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!

2: 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.

Ref:

3: 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!

Ref:

4: 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!

Ref:

5: 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!

Ref:

6: 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.
