I have found more lyrics to the old song:Ê I A Pilgrim, attributed
to Merle Travis, but quite likely an old Afro-American spiritual.ÊÊ And I
have made up two new sets of lyrics, found in between the other two. Cran
Hodges - cen81464@centurytel.netÊÊÊ I hope someone likes them.ÊÊ (Key of
E) Ê I am a pilgrim, and a stranger - travelling through this wearisome
land. But I've got a home - in that yonder city,Ê Yes Lord! In that house
- not made with hands. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ
--------------------------------------------------ÊÊÊÊ I'll see my
father, mother, sister and brother - when I leave this world of woe. And
there I'll greet my Lord and Savior - in that land to which I go. Ê Dear
friends I'll greet - when I cross over, and I reach that distant shore.
With songs of joy - we'll sing his praises, and there we'll dwell forever
more. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ
----------------------------------------------------- I'm going down - to
the river of Jordan, just to ease my troubled soul. If I could touch -
but the hem of his garment, I do believe I could be made whole Ê (repeat
1st verse) Ê Ê Ê Ê
