I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, a trav'ling through this world of woe;
But there's no sickness, toil or danger in that bright world to which I go.
I'm going there to see my mother, I'm going there no more to roam,
I'm just a going over Jordan, I'm just a going over home.

 I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, a trav'ling through this world of woe;
But there's no sickness, toil or danger in that bright world to which I go.
I'm going there to see my father, I'm going there no more to roam,
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, I'm just a going over home,
going over home.
