Bellowhead Jordan song lyrics

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 on the other side of Jordan

Chorus:

Pull of your old coat and roll up your sleeves

Jordan is a hard road to travel I believe

Thunders in the clouds, lighting 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
