Poor Wayfaring Stranger Songtext
von The Hillbilly Thomists

I′m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil, or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I′m going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I′m just going over home


I know dark clouds will gather ′round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I′m going there to see my Mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I′m just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I′m just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who′ve gone on
I′m just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
