I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world alone
And there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that sweet land to which I go

I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over home
