[Verse 1]

I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

And there's no sickness, toil, or danger

In that bright land to which I go

[Hook]

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

And I'm only going over Jordan

And I'm only going over home now

[Interlude]

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah (Mmmm)

Hey ay ay yeah (Oooh)

Hey ay ay yeah

Hey ay ay yeah

[Verse 2]

And I know dark clouds, will gather me

And I know my way is rough and steep

And the beautiful fields that lie just beyond me

And I know my needs are rough and steep

[Hook]

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

And I'm only going over Jordan

And I'm only going over home now

[Verse 1]

'Cause I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world alone

And there's no sickness, toil, or danger

In that bright land to which I go

[Hook]

And I'm going there to see my mother

And I'm going there no more to roam

And I'm only going over Jordan

And I'm only going over home now
