Intro: Am  Dm  Am

Am
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
          Dm                   Am
Travelin' through this world below

There's no sickness, no toil, nor danger
        Dm                     Am
In that bright land to which I go


          F               C
I'm going there to see my Father
           F                      E7    E
and all my loved ones who've gone on
         Am
I'm just goin' over Jordan
         Dm         Am
I'm just goin' over home


Am
I know dark clouds will gather round me
          Dm              Am
I know my way is hard and steep

But beauteous fields arise before me
              Dm                  Am
Where God's redeemed, their vigil keeps


          F               C
I'm going there to see my Mother
               F              E7    E
She said she'd meet me when I come
         Am
I'm just goin' over Jordan
         Dm         Am
I'm just goin' over home
         Am
I'm just goin' over Jordan
         Dm         Am
I'm just goin' over home
