The Wayfaring Stranger

The Wayfaring Stranger - Eddy Arnold

Written by：Trad/Arr Grean

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger

I traveling through this world of woe

But there's no sickness toil nor danger

In that bright world to which I go

I'm going there to meet my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

Poor and lonesome traveler

Behind the mule that's awful slow

A plowing on to death

And worry the only place that I can go

I'm going there to meet my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

My father lived and died a farmer

A reeping less that he did sow

And I just follow in his footsteps

A knowing less than he did know

I'm going there to meet my father

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home

Going over home
