Wayfaring Stranger Performance by Emmylou Harris
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While raveling through, this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world, to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will hang around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just 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 only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
Some of you codgers may remember this version by Tennessee Ernie Ford; note changes in lyrics:
