[Verse 1]

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

There's no sickness, toil, nor danger

In that bright line to which I go

[Hook]

I'm going there to see my saviour

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going home

[Verse 2]

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

There's no sickness, toil, no danger

In that bright line to which I go

[Hook 2]

I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going home

[Verse 3]

I know dark clouds, will have at me

I know my way is rough and steep

And the golden fields lie out before me

Where weary eyes will not weep

[Hook 2]

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going home

[Outro]

'Cause I am a poor wayfaring stranger

Travelling through this world, alone
