Wayfarin' Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

There is no sickness, toil nor danger

In that fair land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there

No more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

Only going over home



I know that dark clouds will gather round me

I know my way is rough and steep

Yet golden fields lie just before me

Where God the demons the... keep

I'm going home to see my mother

She said she's meet me when I come

I'm only over Jordan

I'm only going over home



I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Walk and Travel through this world alone

There is no sickness, toil nor danger

In that fair land to which I go



I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there

No more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan

Only going over home
