Wayfarin` Stranger Lyrics
I'm just a poor Wayfarin' Stranger travelin' through this world of
woe there's no sickness toil nor sorrow in that bright world to
which I go I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no
more to roam I'm just a going' over Jordan I'm just a going'
over homeÂÂ
ya see I'm a concrete buffalo soldier I
gotta chip it's like boulder on my shoulder look in my eyes and you can
see a red marble like Nostradamus I'm the promise of
tomorrow traveling the city with my mexican cargo cotton mouth -
I take a dry swallow to the nearest corner watering hole the
bartender with the deed for my soul satisfaction no I can't get
no lotsa bad habits that I need to control recite the Psalms but
no emancipation church for food and liquor stores for
salvation some day I'll make it home to see my father he
saw the man who shot the coal miner's daughter and if I had a dime for
every gamble I risked I could buy a diamond for the woman I miss ya
seeÂÂ
I'm just a poor Wayfarin' stranger ya check with me ya
checking in with danger I'm just a poor Wayfarin'
stranger roaming the streets seeking Jesus in a mangerÂÂ
I'm
goin' there to see my Mother she said she'll meet me when I
come I'm just a goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home Jordan
river roll river Jordan roll River Jordan roll onÂÂ
Gee ain't it funny
- how time slips away I wanna rewind the tape to see my life
replay I soak up the sun - just as a reminder that I was born a
sick side winder call me a vagrant, no machine to read your
fax I'll never pledge allegiance to your blood sweat and
taxes don't ever mistake me being docile for contentment don't my
anger for resentmentÂÂ
it's just the calm before the storm that's why
I'm quiet ya always mistaking an uprising for a race riot you can
take my life life - but there's no escape 'cause you can't shoot yer way
through the pearly gates so swing low sweet cadillac coming for
to carry me home swing low pink cadillac stepping over Jordan I
roamÂÂ
I'm just a poor Wayfarin' stranger ya check with me ya
checking in with danger I'm just a poor Wayfarin'
stranger roaming the streets seeking Jesus in a
mangerÂÂ
(chorus) When the road is callin' yonder, when the
road is callin' yonder When the road is callin', when the road is
callin' yonder I'll be thereÂÂ
(chorus)
