Lyrics
0:13Take off your old coat
0:19And roll up your sleeves
0:27Life is a hard road to travel,
0:36I believe
0:43I look to the east,
0:46I look to the west
0:50A youth asking fate to be rewardin'
0:57But fortune is a blind god,
1:01Flying through the clouds
1:04And forgettin' me
1:05On this side of Jordan
1:13Take off your old coat
1:19And roll up your sleeves
1:27Life is a hard road to travel,
1:36I believe
1:44Silver spoons to some mouths,
1:48Golden spoons to others
1:51Dare a man to change the given order
1:58Though they smile and tell us,
2:02"All of us are brothers"
2:05Never was it true this side of Jordan
2:13Take off your old coat
2:20And roll up your sleeves
2:28Life is a hard road to travel,
2:36I believe
2:44Like some ragged owlet
2:48With it's wings expanded
2:52Nailed to some garden gate or boardin'
2:58Thus will I by some men
3:02All my life be branded
3:06Never hurted none this side of Jordan
3:14Take off your old coat
3:20And roll up your sleeves
3:28Life is a hard road to travel,
3:37I believe
Take off your old coat And roll up your sleeves Life is a hard road to travel, I believe I look to the east, I look to the west A youth asking fate to be rewardin' But fortune is a blind god, Flying through the clouds And forgettin' me On this side of Jordan Take off your old coat And roll up your sleeves Life is a hard road to travel, I believe Silver spoons to some mouths, Golden spoons to others Dare a man to change the given order Though they smile and tell us, "All of us are brothers" Never was it true this side of Jordan Take off your old coat And roll up your sleeves Life is a hard road to travel, I believe Like some ragged owlet With it's wings expanded Nailed to some garden gate or boardin' Thus will I by some men All my life be branded Never hurted none this side of Jordan Take off your old coat And roll up your sleeves Life is a hard road to travel, I believe
