I am A Pilgrim - Marley's Ghost

How Can I Keep From Singing?

I Am A Pilgrim

(Chorus:)

I am a pilgrim and a stranger

travelling through this wearisome land.

I’ve got a home in that yonder city, Good Lord,

and it’s not, (oh no it’s not) not made by hand.

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,

over on that other shore.

(Chorus)

I’m going down to the river of Jordan,

just to bathe my weary soul.

If I touch but the hem of his garment, Good Lord,

I believe it would make me whole.

(Chorus)
