I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this land of woe
But there'll be no sadness there'll be no sorrow
In this land to which I go

I'm going there going there to see my mama yes I am
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going going over home

[ guitar - organ ]
I'm going there to see my mama
I'm going there no more to roam
Oh yes I'm just going going over Jordan
I'm just a going going over home
I'm just a going I'm going over over home
