Strawfoot — Wayfarin Stranger lyrics

Lyrics

I’m just a poor, wayfarin' stranger
I’m travellin' through this world of war
There ain’t no sickness, toil nor danger
In every land to which I go
I’m goin' home to see my mother
I’m goin' home, no more to roam
I’m just a-goin' over Jordan
I’m just a-goin' over home
I know dark clouds gonna gather round me
I know my path is rough and steep
Yet oil fields lay out before me
When weary eyes no more will be
I’m goin' home to see my father
I’m goin' home, no more to roam
I’m just a-goin' over Jordan
I’m just a-goin' over home
I’ll soon be free from earthly trials
My bones will rest in the old church yard
I’ll share the cross of self denial
And enter in that house of God
I’m goin' home to see my maker
I’m goin' home, no more to roam
I’m just a-goin' over Jordan
I’m just a-goin' over home
I’m just a-goin' over home
