Wayfaring Stranger - as recorded by Bill Monroe
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
I know my pathway's rough and steep
But golden fields lie here before me
Where weary eyes no more shall weep
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form will rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self denial
And enter in my home with God
I'm going there to meet my Saviour
Who shed for me His precious blood
I'm just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
