[Intro]
[Verse]
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my path is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where god's redeem their vigils keep
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Bridge]
I'll soon be free from every trial
This body rest in the ol’ churchyard
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
And go singing home to God
[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Outro]
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
I'm just a-goin'...
