[G]
[Cm] I am a poet with air and strength
[G] While traveling [Fm] through this [C] world of woe
[G] Yet there's no [Cm] sickness, toil, or danger
In that [Fm] bright world [Gm] which [Cm] I go
I'm going [Ab] [Eb] there to see my father
I'm going [Ab] there [Fm] [Eb] to [G] mourn and grow
[D] I'm only [Cm] [G] going over Joe
I'm only [Fm] [Gm] going over [Cm] who

[Fm] [Gm]
[Cm] No dark cloud will hang around [G] me
I [G] know my [Fm] way is rough and [Cm] steep
[Gm] Yet beauty's field lies just before me
Where God's [Fm] redeemed, [Gm] there's a just [Cm] land
I'm going [Ab] there to see my [Eb] mother
She said [Ab] she'd meet [Eb] me when [G] I come
[Gm] I'm only [Cm] going over Joe
