Wayfaring Stranger

(Tony Rice)



      Dm
I'm a poor wayfaring stranger
          Gm                    A7
Traveling through this world of woe
                 Dm
There will be no sickness, no toil, nor danger
            Gm  A7          Dm
That bright land to which I go
          Bb              F
I'm going there to see my mother
             Bb             A7
She said she meet me when I come
               Dm
But I'm just a-going over Jordan
           Gm   A7    Dm
I'm just a-going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet peaceful fields lie just before me
Where God redeemed their vigil keep

I'm going there to meet my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
But I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home

I'm going there to see my mother
She said she meet me when I come
But I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
