There are snakes and alligators, mammoth mules and big ’taters,
That were raised on the other side of Jordan.
The Sovereign of the Seas, she went to Liverpool,
In less than fourteen days, too, accordin’,
Johnny Bull he wiped his eyes, and looked with surprise,
At this clipper from the Yankee side of Jordan.
The ladies of England have sent a big address
About slavery, and all its horrors, accordin’,
They had better look at home, to their own white slaves,
That are starving on the English side of Jordan.
