I am a poor wayfaring pilgrim
Traveling through this world oh-oh
There is no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to meet my father
He said he'd meet me when I come
Well I'm just goin' over Jordan
I'm just goin' over home

I know dark clouds will hover on me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
These weary eyes they no more gonna weep
I'm going there to meet my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
Oh I'm just goin' over Jordan
Hey I'm just goin' over home

I'd like to do this for Danny and Kenny

I'll soon be free of earthly trials
This form will rest beneath the salt
I'll drop the calls of self-denial
And enter in my home with God

I'm going there to see my Savior
He said he'd meet me when I come
Oh I'm just goin' over Jordan
Hey I'm just goin' over home

I'm going there to meet my brother
He said he'd meet me when I come
Oh I'm just goin'
I'm just goin'
I'm just goin'
I'm just goin'

Thanks very much
My thanks to Danny Thompson and Kenny Malone
My thanks to Jerry
Thank you so much
Good night
