Wayfarin' Stranger Lyrics

I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger
I'm trafvelin through this world of war
There ain't no sickness, toil nor danger
In every land to which I go

I'm goin home to see my mother
I'm goin home no more to roam
I'm just a goin over Jordan
I'm just a goin over home

I know dark clouds gonna gather round me
I know my path is rough and steep
Yet oil fields lay out before me
When weary eyes no more will be

I'm goin home to see my father
I'm goin home no more to roam
I'm just a goin over Jordan
I'm just a goin over home

I'll soon be free from earthly trials
My bones will rest in the old church yard
I'll share the cross of self denile
and enter in that house of God

I'm goin home to meet my maker
I'm goin home no more to roam
I'm just a goin over Jordan
I'm just a goin over home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
