Em

[Verse]
Em
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
         Am                  Em
I travel through this world alone
Em
I spread no sickness, toil or danger
               Am              Em
In that bright land to which I go

[Verse]
          C               Em
I'm going there to see my father
          C               B7
I'm going home no more to roam
               Em
I'm just going over River Jordan
           Am         Em
I'm just a-going over home

[Verse]
Em
I know dark clouds will hover over me
          Am               Em
I know my way is rough and steep
Em
The golden fields lie out before me
            Am                Em
Where weary eyes no more will weep

[Verse]
          C              Em
I'm going home to see my mother
          C               B7
I'm going home no more to roam
               Em
I'm just going over River Jordan
         Am         Em
I'm only going over home

[Verse]
Em
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
         Am                  Em
I travel through this world alone
Em
I spread no sickness, toil or danger
               Am              Em
In that bright land to which I go

[Verse]
          C               Em
I'm going there to see my father
          C               B7
I'm going home no more to roam
               Em
I'm just going over River Jordan
           Am         Em
I'm just a-going over home
