Lyrics Jordan - Bellowhead

Jordan

I looked to the east, I looked to the west
I saw John Ball a coming a calling
With four blind horses riding in the clouds
To look at the other side of Jordan
Pull off your old coat and roll up your sleeves
Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe
Thunder in the clouds, lightning in the trees
What do you think that I told him?
It’s goodbye son 'til the next kingdom come
And I’ll meet you on the other side of Jordan
The ladies of England have made a big address
About slavery and hardships according
They better look at home to their own white slaves
They’re starving on the English side of Jordan
There were snakes in Ireland not many years ago
St Patrick saw the vermin all a crawling
But with his shillelagh he hit them on the head
And he drove them 'cross the other side of Jordan
And Jonah spent three days in the belly of a whale
Three days and two nights then according
He tickled him with a straw which caused him to laugh
And he chucked him on the other side of Jordan
