I'm gonna sing you a brand new song It's 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 causing quite an alarm Get a country boy educated just a little And he won't work on the farm Now I don't know but I believe I'm right The auto's ruined the country Let's get back to the horse and buggy And try to save some money. I know a man an evangelist His tabernacle's always full The people come from miles around Just to hear him shoot the bull You can talk about your evangelists You can talk about Mr. Ford too But Henry's shaking more hell out of the folks Than all the evangelists do.
