[Verse 1]
Em
I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
Am7 B
Traveling through this world of woes
Em
There is no sickness, no toil, no danger
Am7 B
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there
[Chorus]
C G
to see my mother
C B
She said she'd meet me when I come
Em
I'm just a goin' over Jordan
Am7 B Em
I'm just a goin' over home
[Verse 2]
Em
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
Am7 B
I know my way is rough and steep
Em
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Am7
Where gods redeemed
B Em
their vigils keep
I'm going there
[Chorus]
C G
to see my father
C B
I'm going there, no more to roam
Em
I'm just a goin' over Jordan
Am7 B Em
I'm just a goin' over home
[Verse 3]
Em
I'll soon be free from earthly trials
Am7 B
This body rests in the old churchyard
Em
I'll drop this cross of self-denial
Am7 B Em
And go singing home to God
I'm going there
[Chorus]
C G
to see my savior
C B
I'm going there, no more to roam
Em
I'm just a goin' over Jordan
Am7 B Em
I'm just a goin' over home
[Outro]
Em
I'm just a goin' over Jordan
Am7 B Em
I'm just a goin' over home
Am7 B
I'm just a goin'
