Copied!

{Intro}
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through

{Verse 1}
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
(And it's not) Good Lordy, well, it's not, not made by hand (Not made by hand)

{Verse 2}
I got a mother, a sister and a brother
Who have gone (Gone, gone) to that sweet home (Home, sweet home)
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
(Over on) Good Lordy, over on that other shore

{Bridge}
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Traveling through this wearisome land
I got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
And it's not, not made by hand

{Verse 3}
I'm going down to the river of Jordan
Just to bathe my (Yes, yes) weary soul (My weary soul)
If I could touch but the hem of His garment, good Lord
(Then I know) Good Lordy, well, I know it'd take me home (Oh, take me home)
