Em Em
[Verse]
Em
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Am B
Traveling through this world of woe
Em
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
Am B Em
In that bright land to which I go
[Chorus]
C G
I'm going there to see my mother
C B
She said she'd meet me when I come
Em
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
Am B Em
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Verse]
Em
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
Am B
I know my path is rough and steep
Em
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Am B Em
Where god's redeem their vigils keep
[Chorus]
C G
I'm going there to see my father
C B
I'm going there, no more to roam
Em
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
Am B Em
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Bridge]
Em
I'll soon be free from every trial
Am B
This body rest in the ol’ churchyard
Em
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
Am B Em
And go singing home to God
[Chorus]
C G
I'm going there to see my savior
C B
I'm going there, no more to roam
Em
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
Am B Em
I'm just a-goin' over home
[Outro]
Em
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
Am B Em
I'm just a-goin' over home
Am B
I'm just a-goin'...
