Wayfaring Stranger (song)

"The Wayfaring Stranger" (a.k.a. "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" or "I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger"), Roud 3339, is a well-known American folk and gospel song likely originating in the early 19th century about a plaintive soul on the journey through life. As with most folk songs, many variations of the lyrics exist.

Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world of woe

But there's no sickness, toil nor danger

In that fair land to which I go

I'm going there to see my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I am just going over Jordan

I am just going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me

I know my way is rough and steep

But beau-teous fields lie just before me

Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

I'm going home to see my mother

She said she'd meet me when I come

I'm only going over Jordan

I'm only going over home

I'm just a going over home
