Verse 1 
       Em             G 
I am a poor wayfaring stranger 
          A                   Em 
Traveling through, this world alone 
           Em                 G 
There's no sickness, toil nor danger 
        A                       Em 
In that bright land, to which I go 
          Em              G 
I'm going there to see my mother 
          A                Em 
I'm going there no more to roam 
         Em         G 
I'm only going over Jordan 
         A          Em 
I'm only going over home now 
 
Chorus 
            Em                 G 
I know dark clouds will gather o'er me 
          A                Em 
I know my way is rough and steep 
               Em               G 
And the beautiful fields lie just beyond me 
          A                Em 
I know my way is rough and steep 
           Em             G 
I'm going there to see my mother 
               A           Em 
I'm going there no more to roam 
         Em         G 
I'm just going over Jordan 
         A          Em 
I'm just going over home
