Hello, this week I chose to play Wayfaring Stranger. I rarely do songs that are this famous, but this one has a very special melody and it suits my guitar playing DADGAD style.
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no toil nor danger
In that pure land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I am just a-going over Jordan
I am just a-going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields will rise before me
Where souls redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going home to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just a- going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
