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, sister and a brother 
Who have been this way before 
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord 
Over on     that other shore 
 
 
I going down to the river of Jordan 
Just to bathe my wearsome soul 
If I can just touch the hem of his garmet, good Lord 
Then I know   he'd take me home 
 
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
