| I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
|
| Cast out in the wild world to roam
|
| I have no promise of tomorrow
|
| I’m startin' to make Heaven my home
|
| I know I’m weak and unworthy
|
| My heart is so prone to sin
|
| My mother has reached the bright glory
|
| My father is still wand’ring in sin
|
| My brothers and sisters won’t own me
|
| Because I’m trying to get in
|
| When friends and relations forsake me
|
| And trouble rolls 'round me so high
|
| I think of the kind words you gave me
|
| Poor pilgrim I’m always nigh
|
| I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
|
| Cast out in the wild world to roam |
