I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Just travelling through this world below

But there's no sickness, toil or danger

In that bright land 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 am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Just travelling through this world below

But there's no sickness, toil or danger

In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to meet my mother

Said she'd meet me when I come

I'm just a going over Jordan

I'm just a going over home

I'm just a going over home

I'm just a going over home
