I Am A Pilgrim and A Stranger
Trad. - as performed by our Bluegrass Session


   (E)I am a (B7)pilgrim and a (E)stranger
   Traveling (A)through  this wearysome (E)land
   And I’ve got a home in that yonder (A)city, good (A7)Lord
   And it’s (E)not,  not (B7)made by (E)hand

I got a (B7)mother, a sister and a (E)brother
Who have (A)go-one this way (E)home
And I am determined to go and (A)see them, good (A7)Lord
For they're  (E)not on (B)that old (E)shore

(solo)

As I go down to that river of Jordan
Just to bathe my weary soul
If I just could touch them of His garment, good Lord
And I know He would take me home

   (chorus)

Now when I’m dead, laying in my coffin
All of my friends all gather round
They can say that he’s just laying there sleeping, good Lord
Sweet peace (Lordy sweet peace) his soul is found
