Wayfaring Stranger

(traditional/brian ahern)

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling thru this world of woe
Yet theres no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world yo which I go

Im going there to see my father
Im going there no more to ram
Im only going over jordan
Im only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather around me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where gods redeemed their vigils keep

Im going there to my mother
She said shed meet me when I come
Im only going over jordan
Im only going over me
