Tennessee Ernie Ford
[Verse 1]
Am G Am
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Dm Am G
Just traveling through this world of woe
Am G Am
Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger
Dm E7 Am
In that bright land, to which I go
[Chorus]
F G C
I'm going there, to see my mother
F G E7 E
I'm going there, no more to roam
Am G Am
I'm only going over Jordan
Dm E7 Am
I'm only going over home
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
I know dark clouds may gather round me
Dm Am G
and I know my way is rough and steep
Am G Am
Yet golden fields lie just before me
Dm E7 Am
where the redeemed shall ever sleep
[Chorus]
F G C
I'm going there to meet my loved ones
F G E7
to sing with them, forevermore
Am G Am
I'm only going over Jordan
Dm E7 Am
I'm only going over home
