Wayfaring Stranger - Flying Emus
Written by:Traditional/Genni Kane/Ian Simpson/John Kane/M Kerin
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While
Traveling through this whole world
And there's no sickness toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go
And I'm going there to see my mother
And I'm going there no more to roam
And I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will hang around me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm goin' there to see my father
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm going there to see my mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
