Lyrics

Wayfaring Stranger

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this world of woe

And there's no sickness, no toil, no danger

In that fair land to which I go

I'm going there to see my mother

I'm going there no more to roam

I'm just going over Jordan

I'm just going over home
