Wayfaring Stranger

I love the versions by Ed Sheeran, Dolly Parton,  Emmylou Harris and Johnny Cash.
Though the off-tune versions by Bill Monroe (few more versions in this playlist) and Jack White have a strange beauty too.

I am a (Am) poor way- (E7) faring (Am) stranger
While travelling (Dm) through this world of (E7) woe
There's no (Am) sick- (E7) ness no toil or (Am) danger
In that bright (Dm) wo- (E7) rld to which I (Am) go
I'm going (F) there (G) to meet my (C) father
I'm going (F) there (G) no more to (C) ro- (E7) am
I’m only (Am) go- (E7) ing over (Am) Jordan
I’m only (Dm) go- (E7) ing over (Am) home (E7)

I know dark (Am) clouds will (E7) gather a- (Am) round me
I know my (Dm) path is rough and (E7) steep
But golden (Am) fields lie (E7) there be- (Am) fore me
Where weary (Dm) eyes no (E7) more shall (Am) weep
I'm going (F) there (G) to see my (C) mother
She said she'd (F) meet me (G) when I (C) come (E7)
I’m only (Am) go- (E7) ing over (Am) Jordan
I’m only (Dm) go- (E7) ing over (Am) home (E7)

I'll soon be (Am) free from (E7) every (Am) trial
This form will (Dm) rest beneath the (E7) sod
I'll drop the (Am) cross of (E7) self de- (Am) nial,
And enter (Dm) in my (E7) home with (Am) God.
I'm going (F) there to (G) see my (C) Saviour
Who shed for (F) me His (G) precious (C) blood (E7)
I’m only (Am) go- (E7) ing over (Am) Jordan
I’m only (Dm) go- (E7) ing over (Am) home (E7)

I'm going to (Am) wear the (E7) crown of (Am) glory
When I get (Dm) home to that bright (E7) land
I'm going to (Am) shout salvation's (Am) story
In concert (Dm) with that (E7) bloodwashed (Am) band
I'm going (F) there (G) to meet my (C) Saviour
To sing His (F) praises (G) for ever (C) more (E7)
I’m only (Am) go- (E7) ing over (Am) Jordan
I’m only (Dm) go- (E7) ing over (Am) home (E7)
