Robert Earl Keen - Wayfaring Stranger [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling through this world of woe
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

[Chorus 2]
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm going there to see my savior
I'm going there [?]
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
