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 through 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
ย
Take off your old coat, and roll up your sleeves
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe
Like some ragged owlet with its 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
ย
Take off your old coat, and roll up your sleeves
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe
