Wayfaring Stranger

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger

A-traveling through this world of woe

But there's no sickness, toil nor danger

In that bright world to which I go.



I'm going there to meet my Father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a-going over Jordan

I'm just a-going over home.

I'm just a poor and lonesome traveler

Behind the mule that's awful slow

A-plowin' on to death and worry

The only place that I can go.



I'm going there to meet my Father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a-going over Jordan

I'm just a-going over home.



My father lived and died a farmer

A-reaping less than he did sow

And I just follow in his footsteps

A-knowing less than he did know.



I'm going there to meet my Father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just a-going over Jordan

I'm just a-going over home.



Going over home...
