Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
            Am
I am a poor,  wayfaring stranger
              Dm                       Am
I'm traveling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, no toil,
no danger
              Dm     E7
In that bright  world  to which I go

[Chorus]
Am               F      C
  I'm going there to see my father
          F                 C   E7
I'm going there, no more to roam
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home

[Verse 2]
            Am
I know dark clouds gather 'round me
          Dm               Am
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet golden fields lie just before me
                    Dm
Where souls redeemed
E7           Am
  shall ever sleep

[Chorus]
               F       C
I'm going there to see my father
                F           C   E7
I'm going there, no more to roam
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home

[Verse 3]
              Am
I want to wear  a crown of glory
               Dm                 Am
When I get home  to that good land
I want to shout down Satan's story
               Dm E7
In concert with     the bloodwashed band

[Chorus]
Am          F               C
  I'm going there to see my father
             F                       C E7
He said he'd meet me when I come home
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home
          F               C
I'm going there to see my father
             F                   C   E7
He said he'd meet me when I come home
         Am
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home

[Outro]
I'm only going over Jordan
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home
         Dm   E7     Am
I'm only going  over home
