The Wayfaring Stranger

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A-travelin' 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 a mule that's powerful slow
A-plowin' on to debt 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 reapin' less than he did sow
And I just follow in his footsteps
A-knowin' 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

Goin' over home
