Intro

  

Verse 1

I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
[Riff] E A
And it's not, not made by hand

Instrumental Break

          

Verse 2

I've got a mother, sister and a brother
Who have gone this way before
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
[Riff] E A
For they're on that other shore

Instrumental Break

          

Verse 3

I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord
[Riff] E A
Then I know he'd take me home

Instrumental Break

          

Refrain

I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord
[Riff] E A
And it's not, not made by hand
