Wayfaring Stranger Songtext
von Guy Tortora

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
But there′s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that land where I'm bound
I′m going back to see my mama
She said she'd meet me when I come

I'm only going over Jordan
I′m only going home

I know dark clouds will rise above me
I know the way is long and steep
But pastures green lie just before me
Where souls redeemed their vigils keep
I′m going back to see my dear ones
Gone before me one by one


I'm only going over Jordan
I′m only going home

I'm gonna wear that crown of glory
When I get to the promised land
I′m gonna shout salvation's story
Playing with that spirit band
I′m going back to see my mama
I'm going back no more to roam

I'm only going over Jordan
I′m only going home

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
But there′s no sickness, toil nor danger
In that land where I'm bound
In that land where I′m bound
In that land where I'm bound
