Thread Name: Lyr Add: Jordan Is a Hard Road to Travel
Subject: RE: Lyr. ADD: JORDAN IS A HARD ROAD TO TRAVE
Thanks Masato for your brilliant grasp of the web and providing the necessary links. There are other listings on American Memory as well under different names.

From an earlier Post: Dominicker comes from Dominique, now called Dominica, one of the Windward Islands. The word is old, known in print since 1809 so perhaps a lot older. Island planters came to the southern states as the island soil quickly wore out and Dominica is mountainous. A "dominicker" fowl is barred, usually with a rose comb and yellow legs.

I have 24 different versions of "Jordan is a Hard Road" in my database and have not used the versions in my library.

I'm not sure how many we need here,
