I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
And there is no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that fairy land to which I go
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I am only going over Jordan
I am only going over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Wandering through this world of woe
And there is no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
He said he'd meet me when I come
I am only going over Jordan
I am only going over home
