Lyrics:
- I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger,
- While travelin' through this world of woe.
- There's no sickness, no toil, nor danger,
- In that bright land to which I go.
- I'm goin' there to see my Mother.
- She said she'd meet me when I come.
- I'm only goin' over Jordan.
- I'm only goin' over home.
- I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
- I know the way is rough and steep.
- But beauteous fields lie just beyond me,
- Where soul's redeemed, their vigils keep.
- I'm goin' there to meet my Father.
- I'm going there no more she ___.
- I'm only goin' over Jordan.
- I'm only goin' over home.
- I want to wear the crown of glory
- When I get home to that bright land
- I want to shout salvation's story
- In concert with that blood-washed band
- I'm going there to meet my Savior
- I'm going where no more to roam
- I'm only going over Jordan
- I'm only going over home
