THERE'S A NEW WORLD
(Jimmy Kennedy / Michael Carr)

Joe Loss & his Orchestra (vocal: Chick Henderson)


There’s a new world free from sorrow
Free from worry ‘bout tomorrow
We’ll be singing when we’re startin’
No more partin’ in this new world

There’s a new world full of gladness
In this new world no more sadness
Every mammy, every pappy
Will be happy in this new world

No pickin’ cotton, no plantin’ corn
No more ‘taters to hoe
Blues all forgotten from night to morn
Watchin’ the green pastures grow

There’s a new world where there’s chicken
Watermelons for the pickin’
Golden slippers for your stampin’
When you’re campin’ in this new world

All the way to Jordan shout “Hallelujah”
All the way to Jordan, sing brothers sing
All the way to Jordan shout “Hallelujah”
All the way to Jordan brothers shout and sing

THERE'S A NEW WORLD

Hearken, brothers!
Hearken, sisters!
I got some mighty news today!

Hearken, brothers!
Hearken, sisters!
Rise and throw your burdens all away!

There’s a new world free from sorrow
Free from worry ‘bout tomorrow
We’ll be singing when we’re startin’
No more partin’ in this new world

There’s a new world full of gladness
In this new world no more sadness
Every mammy, every pappy
Will be happy in this new world

No pickin’ cotton, no plantin’ corn
No more ‘taters to hoe
Blues all forgotten from night to morn
Watchin’ the green pastures grow

There’s a new world where there’s chicken
Watermelons for the pickin’
Golden slippers for your stampin’
When you’re campin’ in this new world

All the way to Jordan shout “Hallelujah”
All the way to Jordan, sing brothers sing
All the way to Jordan shout “Hallelujah”
All the way to Jordan brothers shout and sing
