Jimmy Scott — Wayfarin Strangers

[Verse 1] I am a poor wayfaring stranger While travellin' through this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger In that bright world to which I go [Chorus 1] I'm going there to see my Father I'm going there, no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home [Verse 2] I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough and steep Yet, duteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep [Chorus 2] I’m going there to see my mother She said she need me when I came I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home
