Wayfaring Stranger - Dark Dark Dark

I am a lone, wayfaring stranger

Traveling through this town of woe

There are no sins, no fear of danger

In that bright land to which I go

I’m going home to see my father

I’m going there, no more to roam

I’m only going over the same street

I’m only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather around me

I know my way is rough and steep

Beautiful fields lie just beyond me

Souls went deep on this old street

I’m going there to meet my mother

She said she’d meet me, when I come

I’m only going over the same street

I’m only going over home

I know my lady, yeah, she would leave me

But she can’t, she’s hooked on me

O my lady, yeah, I would leave her

But I can’t, I’ve got my needs

I’m going home to see my baby

It won’t be long and I’ll be there

I’m only going over the same street

I’m only going over home
