Am
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
E Am
Wanderin' through this world of woe
Am
But there's no sickness, no toil, no danger
E Am
In that bright land to which I go
C F C
I'm going home to see my father
F Am
I'm going home no more to roam
Am
I'm only going over Jordan
E Am
I'm just agoing over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where men redeem their vigil's keep
I'm going home to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just agoing over Jordan
I'm just agoing over home
I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
Wanderin' through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going home to see my Savior
I'm going home no more to roam
I'm just agoing over Jordan
I'm just agoing over home
I'm just agoing over home
