I Am A Pilgrim

I Am A Pilgrim - Aaron Neville

I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Travelling through this wearisome land

I've got a home bulit

In that yonder city good lord

And it's not not made by hand

I've got a mother a sister and a father

Done gone on now to the other shore

And I am determined to go

And see them good lord

And to live with them forevermore

When I go down to the river of Jordon

Just to bathe my my weary soul

If I can but touch the hem of

His garment good lord

Then I I know he'll make me whole

And when he lays me down for the last time

With his hard hand resting on my breast

And I don't want none of that

Weepin' and cryin' over me

Cause you know that I'm gone to rest

Yes I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Traveling through this this worrisome land

I got a home in that yonder city good lord

And it's not not made by hand
