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

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

Hey ay ay yeah [12x]

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

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

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

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
