Wayfaring Stranger - Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

Richard Edward "Eddy" Arnold was an American country music singer who performed for six decades. He was a so-called Nashville sound innovator of the late 1950s, and scored 147 songs on the Billboard country music charts, second only to George Jones. He sold more than 85 million records. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame , Arnold ranked 22nd on Country Music Television's 2003 list of "The 40 Greatest Men of Country Music."

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger A-traveling through this world of woe But there's no sickness, toil nor danger In that bright world to which I go. I'm going there to meet my Father I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over home. --- Instrumental --- I'm just a poor and lonesome traveler Behind the mule that's awful slow A-plowin' on to death and worry The only place that I can go. I'm going there to meet my Father I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over home. My father lived and died a farmer A-reaping less than he did sow And I just follow in his footsteps A-knowing less than he did know. I'm going there to meet my Father I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a-going over Jordan I'm just a-going over home. Going over home...
