| [00:00.000] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [00:26.099] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe |
| [00:39.962] |
I look to the east, I look to the west, |
| [00:48.893] |
A youth asking fate to be rewardin'. |
| [00:55.372] |
But fortune is a blind god, flying through the clouds, |
| [01:03.488] |
And forgettin' me on this side of jordan. |
| [01:09.287] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [01:25.619] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
| [01:40.317] |
Silver spoons to some mouths, golden spoons to others, |
| [01:50.368] |
Dare a man to change the given order. |
| [01:56.508] |
Though they smile and tell us all of us are brothers, |
| [02:03.816] |
Never was it true this side of jordan. |
| [02:09.795] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [02:26.129] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
| [02:40.560] |
Like some ragged owlet with it's wings expanded, |
| [02:50.967] |
Nailed to some garden gate or boardin'. |
| [02:55.837] |
Thus will I by some men all my life be branded |
| [03:03.918] |
Never hurted none this side of jordan. |
| [03:09.619] |
Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves, |
| [03:26.635] |
Life is a hard road to travel, I believe. |
