lyrics version 1
Yea-eh da-yeah yeah yeah yeah
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home way over yonder, oh Lord
And it's not, not made by hands
I've got a mother, sister and brother
Of whom have gone a-this way before
I am determined to go and see them, oh Lord
Over on that other shore
I'm going down to the river of Jordan
A-just to bathe my wearisome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garment, oh yeah
Then I know he'll make me whole
Yeah yeah ah he-ah
Ah yeah he-ah
Well I am a pilgrim, I am a stranger
I'm travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home way over yonder, oh Lord
And it's not, it's not made by hands
Yeah
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home way over yonder, oh Lord
And it's not, not made by hands
I've got a mother, sister and brother
Of whom have gone a-this way before
I am determined to go and see them, oh Lord
Over on that other shore
I'm going down to the river of Jordan
A-just to bathe my wearisome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garment, oh yeah
Then I know he'll make me whole
Yeah yeah ah he-ah
Ah yeah he-ah
Well I am a pilgrim, I am a stranger
I'm travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home way over yonder, oh Lord
And it's not, it's not made by hands
Yeah
