I am a lone, wayfaring stranger Traveling through this town of woe There are no sins, no fear of danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going home to see my father I'm going there, no more to roam I'm only going over the same street I'm only going over home I know dark clouds will gather around me I know my way is rough and steep Beautiful fields lie just beyond me Souls went deep on this old street I'm going there to meet my mother She said she'd meet me, when I come I'm only going over the same street I'm only going over home I know my lady, yeah, she would leave me But she can't, she's hooked on me O my lady, yeah, I would leave her But I can't, I've got my needs I'm going home to see my baby It won't be long and I'll be there I'm only going over the same street I'm only going over home
