The Wayfaring Stranger Songtext
von Eddy Arnold

I′m just a poor, wayfarin', stranger
A-travelin′ through, this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright world to which I go

I'm goin′ there, to meet my Father
I′m goin' there, no more to roam
I′m just a-goin' over Jordan
I′m just a-goin' over home

I′m just a poor and lonesome traveler
Behind the mule, that's awful slow
A-plowin' on, to death and worry
The only place, that I can go


I′m goin′ there, to meet my Father
I'm goin′ there, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin′ over Jordan
I'm just a-goin′ over home

My father lived, and died a farmer
A-reapin' less, than he did sow
And I just follow, in his footsteps
A-knowin' less, than he did know

I′m goin′ there, to meet my Father
I'm goin′ there, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin′ over Jordan
I'm just a-goin′ over home

Goin' over home
