Intro
1st Verse:
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelin' through this world alone
There is no sickness toil nor danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm goin' home to see my mother (2nd chorus says father, 3rd says saviour)
I'm goin' home no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home
2nd Verse:
I know dark clouds will hover o'er me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
What golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weap
3rd Verse:
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sun
I'll drop that cross of self denial
And enter in that home with God
This is a pretty simple song done by a lot of people,
but I didn't see Jack White's version in Dm so I wrote it out...
that being said, there is a guy on youtube who calls himself the
Bard of Cornwall and plays a mandolin version that sounds great on
guitar as well and goes like this...

I'm goin' home no more to roam
I am just goin' over Jordan
I am just goin' over home
Same words, and repeat the first verse after the third chorus
followed by the first chours...and as far as I'm concerend you
can swith out the G for a Gm in Jack White's version and it
will still sound sweet..
