Peter, Paul & Mary - Old Coat Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 to 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.
  • 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.
  • Take off your old coat and roll up your sleeves,
  • Life is a hard road to travel, I believe.
