| [00:12.920] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [00:26.352] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
| [00:42.808] |
I look to the east, I look to the west, |
| [00:49.766] |
A youth asking fate to be rewardin'. |
| [00:56.860] |
But fortune is a blind god, flying through the clouds, |
| [01:03.576] |
And forgettin' me on this side of jordan. |
| [01:13.071] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [01:26.428] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
| [01:43.894] |
Silver spoons to some mouths, golden spoons to others, |
| [01:51.376] |
Dare a man to change the given order. |
| [01:57.110] |
Though they smile and tell us all of us are brothers, |
| [02:05.141] |
Never was it true this side of jordan. |
| [02:13.350] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [02:27.680] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
| [02:44.753] |
Like some ragged owlet with it's wings expanded, |
| [02:51.892] |
Nailed to some garden gate or boardin'. |
| [02:58.327] |
Thus will I by some men all my life be branded |
| [03:05.734] |
Never hurted none this side of jordan. |
| [03:14.080] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [03:28.456] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
