THE HILLBILLY THOMISTS
"Poor Wayfairing Stranger"

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus 1:]
I'm going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

[Chorus 2:]
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus 1:]
I'm going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
