The Other Side of Jordan. 
David had a banjo, and he kept it strung, And he 'ranged the music accordin'-Then he play'd a tune, call'd, " Go it, while you're young," And they dance it on t'other side of Jordan. 
Chorus. So I pull'd off my coat, and roll'd up my sleeveJordan's a hard road to trabble; So I pull'd off my coat, and roll'd up my sleeveJordan's a hard road to trabble, I believe. 
David and Goliah, they went out to fight. Old Father Miller went out to part 'em; He up with a stone, hit David on the shin, And it lauded on t'other side of Jordan.-Chorus. 
The M.P.'s came, and they took 'em up, But the Mayor gave them their pardon; They both shook hands and said they'd agree, And settle on the other side of Jordan.-Chorus. 
Oh! the cod-fish question, it made a mighty talk, 'Twas a subject that we nebber said a word on; But when John Bull got sassy, the Yankees made him wnlk, And they drobe him to the other side of Jordan.-Chorus. 
There's "Poor Uncle Tom," and "The Old Folks at Home," Am the songs that all ob you hab heard on; But the greatest song ob all, that will hab the greatest run, Is the song about the other side of Jordan.-Chorus.
