Kristin Hersh - Poor Wayfaring Stranger lyrics

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger I'm wandered through a world of woe But there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land where I go I'm going there to see my mother Said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going home Darkness grows 'round me My ways been rough and steep But beautiful fields lay just before me Where I will lay me down to sleep I'm going there to see my father He said he'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going home I'll soon be free of earthy trials My story over, my body will rest My soul will fly in heavenly triumph And I'll go singing home at last I'm going there to see my lover He said he'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going home, I'm only going home
