Wayfarin' Stranger I’m just a poor wayfaring stranger, I’m trav’ling through this world of woe; There is no sickness, toil, nor 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 going over Jordan, I’m just a going over home. I ...
