Johnny Cash - Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics






I'm just a poor wayfarin' stranger,
Travelin' through this world below.
There is no sickness, no toil, no danger,
In that bright land to which I go.
I'm goin' there to see my father.
And all my loved ones who've gone on.

I'm just goin' over Jordan.
I'm just goin' over home.

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me,
I know my way is hard and steep.
But beauteous fields arise before me,
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep.
I'm goin' there to see my mother.
She said she'd meet me when I come.

So, I'm just goin' over Jordan.
I'm just goin' over home.

I'm just goin' over Jordan.
I'm just goin' over home.

Johnny Cash Wayfaring Stranger Comments
  1. S.... B....

    The 1917 movie has annihilated the comment section of this video

  2. M.... ....

    1917 brought me here and I'm glad the original was by the man himself. Johnny Cash the OG Man in Black.

  3. C.... ....

    The dislikes are from the Germans and the Rat Bastards!

  4. L.... S....

    Always loved this song but 1917 brought me back. That scene gave me chills. One of the best war movies I've seen, hope they release the full version from the film

  5. M.... P....

    what a voice

  6. R.... A....

    Anybody here after the soldier sang it in 1917

  7. r.... ....

    1917🧡😭

  8. T.... ....

    Idk why this song fits with Peaky Blinders

  9. J.... H....

    Found a clip in a youtube comment... kinda low quality at first
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YvAHWmCWuyg-vVJ1p3wcFGSD4fDmdtQY/view

  10. A.... ....

    1917 was one of the greatest movies ever

  11. n.... ....

    I also like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI9ZsJxm9LQ

  12. A.... D....

    Sorry Johnny Cash but the 1917(film) version just took 1st place 🤷‍♂️

  13. M.... ....

    This sounds like the later 1970s rendition of 'The Way I Feel' by Gordon Lightfoot.

  14. J.... H....

    A soldier in "1917" sings this beautifully...if anyone hasnt seen it...I highly recommend it.

    J.... H....

    Yea i spoke with jos on twitter

    J.... H....

    @Prom Knight https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YvAHWmCWuyg-vVJ1p3wcFGSD4fDmdtQY/view

    Kinda low quality but gets better...someone ripped it straight from the theater...found it on youtube.

    J.... H....

    @Mcgiver 13 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YvAHWmCWuyg-vVJ1p3wcFGSD4fDmdtQY/view

    J.... H....

    The one from the movie is so much more beautiful. Can't wait for that.

  15. A.... M....

    curious, by
    the sum
    promise me
    loving, laughter
    I, keep
    sober kains,
    wondering, why?
    battel wounds,
    don't know
    cant say
    I'm a
    passing, mission
    from mars,
    and I'm
    loving, the
    empty surface
    still kill
    filling, my
    vocal live
    one; another
    MADD I've
    Always, Been
    Mad

  16. c.... ....

    Hauntingly, beautifully sung in the woods of 1917.

    c.... ....

    Like SIREN it was almost haunting.

    c.... ....

    Very sadly not on the soundtrack,Johnny Cash does a good cover.

    c.... ....

    captaingordon saw that today and I knew the song before it but never figured out how I knew it l:

  17. L.... L....

    Sweet! I wanna learn this now,lol

    L.... L....

    I just did em am bm c @g those are cords.

  18. p.... ....

    Always think of "Then came Bronson " Anyone?

  19. A.... R....

    amazing voice..

  20. T.... L....

    So this is that ellie and joel song huh

  21. A.... C....

    Desconhecido Em Viagem

    Eu sou um pobre desconhecido em viagem
    Enquanto sigo viajando por este mundo
    Não há doença, fadiga ou perigo
    Nessa terra brilhante para a qual eu vou
    Eu vou lá para ver meu pai
    E todos os meus entes queridos que envelheceram
    Eu irei para Jordânia
    Eu irei para casa


    Eu sei que nuvens escuras irão se acumular ao redor
    Eu sei que o meu caminho é árduo e íngrime
    Mas belos campos surgem diante de mim
    Onde Deus redimiu sua vigília guardada
    Eu vou lá para ver minha mãe
    Ela disse que ela me encontaria quando eu voltar
    Então eu irei para Jordânia
    Eu irei para casa

  22. s.... p....

    Jebeno remek djelo ..

  23. E.... D....

    Awesome song Johnny Cash is the best

  24. S.... E....

    İlk dəfə sevdiyim bir musiqidə türk yorumu görmədim

  25. J.... F....

    Sounds like Tom Waits

  26. N.... S....

    Nobody cares why you're here or where you heard of this. Just shut up and listen.

    N.... S....

    Preach lmao

    N.... S....

    I care!

    N.... S....

    @A R T fine, nobody but this guy

    This would been perfect leading up to the end of rdr2

  29. J.... J....

    We're all going over Yonder keep a quarter pay the ferryman

  30. A.... ....

    Such a rdr 2 song

  31. O.... D....

    ❤😚

  32. C.... ....

    J cash is the man . Ed sherrin version tops it I think .

  33. G.... G....

    Neil Young's "Americana" brought me here !

    G.... G....

    Neil Young is an American hating anti White racist POS.
    Johnny Cash is an American Hero & Patriot!

  34. A.... M....

    rock it
    around a
    bit fit
    something, of
    nothing, already
    there love,
    knowing, no
    bonus, points,
    upping, singing,
    its, all
    love, for
    knowing, promise
    to peace
    already kept
    me there

    A.... M....

    I see you coming here every month for at least year, what do your writings mean please?
    Sorry for my english

  35. t.... b....

    Last of us Part II ❤️

  36. A.... S....

    If you like this go see the series no evil

  37. M.... B....

    can see where "Dirty Old Town" had its roots

    M.... B....

    The Pogues 🎶

  38. T.... M....

    Lovely song, but I still canna get into Johnny Cash. Of all the songs of his I've listened to over the years this is one I've liked most. However, I think it's mostly because of the song and accompaniment, not his singing. His quavering and wavering on notes doesna seem to bother many people, but sadly I'm put off by them. He's recorded so prolifically, and all that huge body of work I canna enjoy.

    triple; love,
    knowing, today
    first

  41. S.... F....

    Why is this a cover?

  42. E.... S....

    It's 'fair land' not 'bright land' and also its ' I know my way is rough and steep. Finally he sings completely out of tune. It isn't needed for you to see him in the video. The song wasn't for him to show off how he can't sing.

  43. A.... M....

    ram page
    cycle by
    doing, it
    all over
    again pinned
    by reading,

    story space
    keeping, loving,
    on no
    worries; stairs,

    I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
    Traveling through this world below
    There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger
    In that bright land to which I go
    I'm going there to see my Father
    And all my loved ones who've gone on
    I'm just going over Jordan
    I'm just going over home
    I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
    I know my way is hard and steep
    But beauteous fields arise before me
    Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
    I'm going there to see my Mother
    She said she'd meet me when I come
    So, I'm just going over Jordan
    I'm just going over home
    I'm just going over Jordan
    I'm just going over home

    R.I.P Mr. Cash

  90. a.... l....

    Johnny Cash was a man whose heart beat with the rhythm of love and social justice. He received humanitarian awards from, among others, the Jewish National Fund, B’nai Brith, and the United Nations. He championed the rights of Native Americans, protested the war in Vietnam, was a voice for the poor, the struggling and the disenfranchised, and an advocate for the rights of prisoners.
