I'm just a wayfarin' stranger Travelin' through world of woe no sickness toll nor sorrow In that bright world to I go
I'm going there to see my I'm goin' no more to roam I'm just a over Jordan I'm just a over home
Ya see, I'm a concrete buffalo I chip it's like boulder in my shoulder Look in my eyes and you can see a red Like Nostradamus, I'm the of tomorrow
the city with my Mexican cargo Cotton mouth I a dry swallow To the nearest corner hole The with the deed for my soul
Satisfaction no, I get no Lotsa bad habits I need to control Recite the Psalms, but no for food and liquor stores for salvation
Someday I'll make it to see my father He saw the man who shot the mine's daughter And if I had a dime for every I risked I could buy a diamond for the I miss ya see
I'm just a poor wayfarin' Ya check with me, ya checking in the danger I'm just a poor stranger the streets seeking Jesus in a manger
I'm there to see my mother She said, she'll meet me I come I'm just a over Jordan, I'm just a goin' over home Jordan river roll, Jordan roll, river Jordan roll on
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips I wanna the tape to see my life replay I up the sun just as a reminder That I was born a side winder
Call me a vagrant, no machine to your fax never pledge allegiance to your blood sweat and taxes Don't ever mistake me docile for contentment ever mistake my anger for resentment
It's just the before the storm that's why, I'm quite Ya always an upraising for a race riot You can take my life but no escape 'Cause you can't shoot your way through the pearly
So, swing low Cadillac for to carry me home Swing low pink over Jordan I roam
Ya see, I'm just a poor stranger Ya check with me, ya in with danger I'm just a poor wayfarin' Roaming the streets Jesus in a manger
I'm goin' to see my father I'm goin' there no to roam I'm just a goin' over I'm just a goin' over
When the is callin' yonder When the road is callin' When the is callin' When the road is yonder I'll be
I'm goin' there to see my I'm goin' there no to roam I'm just a over Jordan I'm a goin' over home
