[Verse 1]
I'm just a poor, wayfarin' stranger
I'm travellin' through this world of war
There ain't no sickness, toil nor danger
In every land to which I go
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home to see my mother
I'm goin' home, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds gonna gather round me
I know my path is rough and steep
Yet oil fields lay out before me
When weary eyes no more will be
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home to see my father
I'm goin' home, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse 3]
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
My bones will rest in the old church yard
I'll share the cross of self denial
And enter in that house of God
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home to see my maker
I'm goin' home, no more to roam
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Outro]
I'm just a-goin' over home
