You may tell them madam

When you see this them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound to the promise land

You may tell them Adam

When you see this them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound to the promise land

I weep and I moan

And I move slowly on

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm Bound for Canaan land

You may tell them father

When you see them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound for the promise land

You may tell them my mother

When you see them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound for the promise land

I weep and I moan

And I move slowly on

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm Bound for Canaan's land

You may tell them my brother

When you see this them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound to the promise land

You may tell them sweet sister

When you see this them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound to the promise land

I weep and I moan

And I move slowly on

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

I'm bound for Canaan's land
