Any of y that ever know anybody that
picked one of these old -fashioned five -string banjos
sure as the world have heard him pick this
and the Hard Road to Travel.
Well, I looked to the east
With the four bay horses hitched up in front
To take him to the other side of Jordan
Well, I'd just come to town
for to pass the time away
To settle all my business accordin'
when I walked down the street,
I wished I was on the other
So take off your coat boys
and roll up your sleeves,
Jordan am a hard road to travel
and roll up your sleeves,
Jordan am a hard road to travel
Agreed to settle it accordin'
And he hurt it on the other side of Jordan
So take off your coat, boys,
Jordan, they're a hard road to travel
Now take off your coat, boys, roll up your
Jordan, I'm a hard road to travel,
Now Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Was a -hoeing on a row of potatoes
from the bottom of the pack
An d she hit him in the face with a mater
Jordan, I'm a hard road to travel
Now, take off your coat, boys,
Jordan, am I hard to roll to travel,
Now, I looked to the east, I looked to the west
I saw two women a -fightin'
Cause that old gal is a -bitin'
Hold now, take off your coat,
Jordan, I'm a hard road to travel.
Take off your coat, boys,
and roll up your sleeves,
Jordan, I'm a hard road to travel,
I'm a hard road to travel, I believe.
