Verse 1:
           Am    D         Am
I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
                D            F        Am
While traveling through this world of woe
                      D        Am
There is no sickness, toil, or danger
               D        F       Am
In that bright world to which I go

Chorus 1:
          F               Am
I'm going there to see my father
          F                Am
I'm going there no more to roam
           D          Am
I'm just a going over Jordan
           D     F    Am
I'm just a going over home

I know dark clouds, will gather o'er me

I know my path is rough and steep
                      D          Am
But golden fields lie out before me
            D        F          Am
Where weary eyes, no more shall weep

Chorus 2:
          F               Am
I'm going there to see my savior
             F               Am
Who shed for me his precious blood
           D          Am
I'm just a going over Jordan
           D     F    Am
I'm just a going over home
