Wayfaring Stranger Songtext
von Delaney Davidson

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this land of woe
There′ll be no toil, sickness or danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my lover
She said she′d greet me when I go
I'm not going over Jordan
I'm just going over home


I know it′s time for me to die now
Time to pay for what I′ve done
I lay a snake a-waiting
Waited there for her to come

I try, try to resist it
I try as best I can
Am I some hollow puppet
Or in this storm can I stand?

See now, people, there is a bad man
See now, people, what he can do
See now, see now, he walks right through you
See what hell he'll bring to you
