Episode Synopsis

Origin unknown, but likely dates back to late 1700's - early 1800's. Covered by too many to name. Minor lyrical revision. Previously posted a different take of this Trad Classic on SoundCloud awhile back. This version presented in an early Sunday Morning frame of mind.
Wayfarin' Stranger - Slowly Wandering
(Trad, Adapted)
I am a poor wayfaring stranger, traveling through
.......... this world of woe
But, there's no sickness, toil, nor danger 
in that bright land,
to which I go
Chorus:
I'm going there to see my Father
And, all my loved ones, who’ve gone on

I'm just going over Jordan, I'm only go-in'
.....going home
Though dark clouds, they gather round me

......and my way is rough and steep
Beauteous fields arise before me.......

Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I’m goin' back to see my Mother
I’m goin' there, no more to roam
I’m only go-in'....going over Jordan
I’m just going .......Go-ing Home
So, join me, Sister and Brother
I’m just go-in' .......Go-ing Home
