I'm just a wayfarin' stranger Travelin' through world of woe There's no toll nor sorrow In bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my I'm there no more to roam I'm a goin' over Jordan I'm a goin' over home
Ya see, I'm a concrete soldier I gotta chip it's like boulder in my in my eyes and you can see a red marble Like Nostradamus, I'm the promise of
the city with my Mexican cargo Cotton I take a dry swallow To the corner watering hole The with the deed for my soul
no, I can't get no Lotsa bad habits I need to control Recite the Psalms, but no Church for food and stores for salvation
Someday I'll make it home to see my He saw the man who shot the coal daughter And if I had a dime for every I risked I could buy a for the woman I miss ya see
I'm just a poor wayfarin' Ya check with me, ya checking in with the I'm just a poor stranger the streets seeking Jesus in a manger
I'm goin' there to see my She said, she'll meet me when I I'm just a goin' over Jordan, I'm just a goin' home Jordan river roll, river Jordan roll, Jordan roll on
Gee, ain't it how time slips away I rewind the tape to see my life replay I up the sun just as a reminder That I was born a sick winder
Call me a vagrant, no to read your fax I'll never pledge to your blood sweat and taxes Don't ever mistake me being docile for Don't ever mistake my anger for
It's just the calm before the storm that's why, I'm Ya always mistaking an upraising for a race You can take my life but there's no 'Cause you can't shoot your way through the gates
So, low sweet Cadillac Coming for to carry me Swing low Cadillac Stepping Jordan I roam
Ya see, I'm just a poor stranger Ya check with me, ya checking in danger I'm just a wayfarin' stranger Roaming the streets Jesus in a manger
I'm goin' there to see my I'm goin' there no more to I'm just a over Jordan I'm just a goin' home
When the road is callin' the road is callin' yonder When the is callin' When the is callin' yonder be there
I'm goin' to see my father I'm goin' there no more to I'm a goin' over Jordan I'm just a over home
