I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A traveling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
Oh hunger's been my life's companion
And sorrow's been my nearest friend
But I will leave them both behind me
In the bright land that journey's end
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that fair land to which I go
