    Then there is The Wayfaring Strangers' version, featuring John McGann on Octave mandolin.

    Wayfaring Stranger
    Recorded by Emmylou Harris

    Am
    I am a poor wayfaring stranger
    Dm Am
    While traveling through this world of woe
    D7
    Yet there's no sickness toil nor danger
    Dm G Am
    In that bright world to which I go

    F C
    I'm going there to see my Father
    F C E7
    I'm going there no more to roam
    Am
    I'm only going over Jordan
    Dm E7 Am
    I'm only going over home


    I know dark clouds will gather round me
    Dm Am
    I know my way is rough and steep
    D7
    Yet beauteous fields rise before me
    Dm G Am
    Where God redeems there visuals keep

    F C
    I'm going there to see my mother
    F C E7
    She said she'd meet me when I come
    Am
    I'm only going over Jordan
    Dm Am
    I'm only going over home
    Last line of final verse would more correctly read:

    Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

    I play the version included in Fred Sokolow's Bluegrass Ukulele book. It's in d minor, wich happens to suit my vocal range(well, almost)
