[Verse 1]
            Am   G         Am
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
                  Dm                  Am     G
Just travelling 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
