Am Trad, 1858, Fox and Hound Version
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger |
Traveling through this world of woe |
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger |
In that bright land to which I go |
|
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me |
I know my way is rough and steep |
But golden fields arise before me |
Among the stars their vigils keep |
|
I wanna sing__ and tell my stories |
A song I hear deep in my soul |
In concert with__ all those before me |
Before I leave__ this earthly home |
I'm going there__ to see the others |
That passed before me one-by-one |
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan |
I'm just a-goin' over home... |
... I'm just a-goin' over home (x2...) |
