I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this land of woe
But there'll be no sadness, there'll be no sorrow
In this land to which I go

I'm going there going there to see my mama, yes, I am
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going, going over home

I'm going there to see my mama
I'm going there no more to roam
Oh yes, I'm just going, going over Jordan
I'm just a going, going over home
I'm just a going, I'm going over, over home
