wayfaring stranger (2002 remaster)

(Traditional - Arr. Brian Ahern)
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
Yet theres no sickness, toil or danger
in that bright world to which I go.
Im going there to see my father
Im going there no more to roam
Im only goin over Jordan
Im only goin over home.
--- Instrumental ---
I know dark clouds were headin around me
I know my way is tough and steep
Yet beautious fields lie just before me
Where Gods redeemed their vigils keep.
Im going there to see my mother
She said shed meet me when I come
Im only goin over Jordan
Im only goin over home...
