         D                G   G7 
I am a pilgrim and a stranger 
             C    C7             G 
Travelling through  this wearsome land 
           G      G7            C          C7 
I've got a home in  that yonder city, good Lord 
         G  riff D            G 
And it's not      not made by hand 
 
 
I've got a mother, got a sister and brother 
Who have been this way before 
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord 
Over on that other shore 
 
Repeat first verse 
 
I'm going down to that river of Jordan 
Just to bathe my wearsome soul 
If I could just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord 
Then I know he'll take me home 
 
Repeat first verse
