Intro : Free Time Am
Verse 1 : 
     |            Am| Am  
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
        |                 Dm| Am  
traveling through, this world alone.
         |                Am| Am  
There's no sickness, toil nor danger,
             |               Dm|Am  
in that bright world, to which I go.
Chorus 1 : 
        |              F| C  
I'm going there to see my father.
        |               F| E  
I'm going there no more to roam.
       |         Am| Am  
I'm only going over Jordan.
       |        Dm| Am  
I'm only going over home.
Verse 2 : 
         |                 Am| Am  
I know dark clouds will gather around me.
        |              Dm| Am  
I know my way is rough and steep.
                |                  Am| Am  
And the beautiful fields lie just be- fore me.
        |                     Dm| Am  
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep.
Refrain 2 : 
        |              F| C  
I'm going there to see my mother.
             |             F| E  
She said she'd meet me when I come
       |         Am| Am  
I'm only going over Jordan.
       |        Dm| Am  
I'm only going over home.
Outro:
