DmI am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelin' Gthrough this world alDmone
There is no sickness toil nor danger
In that fair lGand to which I Dmgo
Chorus:
DmI'm goin' home to see my mother (2nd chorus says father, 3rd says saviour)
I'm goin' home no more to Amroam
I am just Dmgoin' over Jordan

Dm G Dm G Dm
2nd Verse:
I know dark clouds will hover o'er me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
What golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weap
Chorus:
3rd Verse:
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sun
I'll drop that cross of self denial
And enter in that home with God
Chorus:
This is a pretty simple song done by a lot of people, 
but I didn't see Jack White's version in Dm so I wrote it out... 
that being said, there is a guy on youtube who calls himself the 
Bard of Cornwall and plays a mandolin version that sounds great on
guitar as well and goes like this...
