As a proud Hillbilly from the Ozarks that grew up playing this with my Family and relatives, having barn dances, this touched my Spirit. Happy tears of love to you all talented youngsters! Never stop. This is your Gift to the World.
Lyrics to this specific version (mix of Baez's original and Johny cash version): I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger I'm traveling through this world of woe There's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going there to see my father I'm going there no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough and steep But beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed, their vigil keep I'm going there to see my Mother I'm going there no more to roam I'm just a going over Jordan I'm just a going over home I'm going there to see my savior To sing its prayers forever more I'm just a going over Jordan I'm just a going over home I'm just a going over home
I have been singing my own version for over 2 decades... and English isn't even my first language. That is the beauty of songs like this. The lyrics are universal yet they touch us on a very personal level like no other... One day, I may share mine. But this one will stay with me forever! I will be listening to it and singing along in my heart... on my next long journey to see my mother. Thank you, SR! 🙏
I listen to your music videos over and over. Your renditions are excellent and innovative. You really give new life to the loved old songs. This is one of my favorite Gospel Blue Grass songs, so I enjoyed it so much. Please keep your style. and thanks for sharing. I am born to love Blue Grass even though I live in South Africa. God bless.
Has anyone ever performed this song better? You took a great song and totally did it justice. The lead was great, the instrumental work was top notch, and you captured the mood of the song perfectly.
@@acertiger591 so cool, there ain't a whole lot of Larrabees in the United States. Most of them are in Maine believe it or not! I'm sure I'm related to your wife but probably pretty distant. Does her genealogy trace to Maine at all?
Hey guys here I am in Australia, listening to the gifts that Our Lord has given you. You guys are out there so much talent I play guitar and harmonica. I have a full list of you on Spotify and listen to you almost everyday. I love the extras you put into gospel songs. This world is in such a mess. And our leaders doing silly things. Deception is everywhere. We need your talents too encourage us all. I plug you into My amplifier and play along with you. So good. God bless you all til we meet. John
One of my dear mother's favorite songs. Such a wonderful version! I am a poor wayfaring stranger here but I will see my mother one day. Thank you all so very much!!
A SWEET CLASSICAL BALLAD (17 Century) DESCRIBING THE SOUL YEARNING FOR OUR ETERNAL HOME, WHERE THERE'S NO PAIN OR SORROW, AND WHERE AT LAST WE CAN SEE OUR LORD FACE TO FACE, AND OUR LOVE ONES WHO WENT THERE BEFORE US. YOU DON'T GET TIRED OF LISTENING AGAIN AND AGAIN! THANK YOU KIDS FOR THIS MASTER PERFORMANCE!!! (Sorry for any mistake in this humble comment -my first language is Spanish.) "Wayfaring Stranger" I am a just a poor wayfaring stranger I’m traveling through this world alone There is no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land to which I go I'm goin' there to see my father I'm goin' there, no more to roam I am only goin' over Jordan I am only goin' over home I know dark clouds will gather round me I know my way is rough and steep But beateous fields lie just before me Where God’s Redeemed their vigils keep I'm goin' there to see my mother I'm goin' there, no more to roam I am just to goin' over Jordan I am just to goin' over home I'm goin' there to see my Savior To see His face forevermore I am just to goin' over Jordan I am just to goin' over home I am just to goin' over home
I never heard of this group until our extended family went to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO last August 2019. I am recovering from cancer and have low energy so they parked me at the Southern Raised Bluegrass show to rest. What a treat to hear your heavenly bluegrass gospel songs. I ended up staying through three shows because I didn’t want to watch any of the others. You have a handsome and gifted family!
So my husband and I just heard this fantastic group again at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri on Saturday the 4th of July! Sadly, because of the low park attendance due to the Covid virus, the audience was small. But they still sang and performed their heart out!! Dueling Banjos with guitar man and banjo player - entertaining. Foggy Mountain Breakdown with the lead singer and fiddle gal -no words. Mostly loved the gospel songs and words, though.
I lost my mother A few years ago. So this song always brings tears to my eye, a lump to my throat, and a smile to my face at the same time. Thank you for such a wonderful version, it made my night.
Howdy, Bro! This hymn has the same effect on me. I got that crappy coronavirus and I'm coughing out my lungs... Wanna get somehow a smile on the faces of those attending my burial and I think this hymn will make my day (or their day at least ;-) ... ). I'll definitely ask my congregation to play and sing this hymn at my burial. Only, they'll need the musical notes to do so. I'll ask SR if they would exceptionally send them to my adress and to be sure to the adress of my congregations prayer house. Hope they will be so kind to do so. I think this hymn has the potential and is able to bring comfort even to my widow and my orphans. That hymn is just great! Strange, I feel somehow excited, like a lil boy before Xmas or maybe more like an old stallion which remarks that his rider is guiding him home to his stable where food and water and his herd are awaiting him. We have a proverb here, saying this: Hoimtsou rennt der Gaul vi vun alloi! That means literally: On its way home, the horse runs as from its own. (Meaning you don't need to push a horse which has recognized that it's now going into the direction of his homestable, it's running from alone anyway. ;-) ... )
Yeah, that's it! Great idea! I wanna ask SR for the musical notes to send them to my congregation before my burial. I want that to be played and sung in the version of SR at my burial too! Hope they will send it and that it will arrive at my congregation before I have coughed out my lungs ... ;-) Hopefully that hymn will be the hit on my burial!
I absolutely love your music and get blessed by our heavenly Father everytime I listened to your albums. God bless you all and I pray your ministry endures for a long time.
That girl with the bass and her black hat has one of the prettiest faces I ever did see, itellyoowhut man. Fiddle's a cutie pie, but that bass girl is perfection
Oh my, I'm just getting acquainted with these folks thanks to the yt algorithms and recommendations, outstanding in EVERY way. It's impossible for me to describe the feeling I get when I hear this
This song sums up my mothers early life, and what she would have hoped for during the depths of the depression. She grew up toiling in the cotton fields of Arkansas. She rocked her little sister asleep who was dying of starvation. Her father made and sold moonshine to have some money for food, but sampled a poisonous batch that put him in a coma and a mental hospital. Her mother did her best to raise five children on a meager garden. Poverty, prayers, and looking to heaven was the life they lived.
I've always loved Wayfaring Stranger but this version is my favorite. Yeah, I too think of Tennessee Ernie Ford when I hear this gorgeous bass voice. The harmonies and arrangement are perfect. Wonderful group.
Ulster-Scots immigrating to the USA brought with them their believe and hymns. Inspiring bluegrass, country music, gospel and other music. Banjo was brought with Africans and mixed up. Thank you for making & sharing this video! 🌷 Love from Holland
I don't know that cat' name but what a basso profundo voice he has.Everything about this video has me wishing I had found you youngin's sooner.Just happy that I have found your music now.Thank You very much for what you guys do, it is fantastic.
Fantastic group. that deep Base voice WOW then I started siinging along hell my voice sounds so similar but I ain't no mach for this Gent. The group sounds great, the ladies sound cool and their musical talent combined is excellent, love their song 16 Tons. You are on my playlist and I will spread the word among friends .
I know we will be blessed by this new video. Just got back from church and watched the video. It was a blessing as I watched. Matt you hit a home run with this.
I just found you on UA-cam and I went to iTunes and bought 3 of your albums. Great Music and put them on my iPod so I can turn it on in my shop as I work or in my car. Great Music.
Thank goodness that there are younger generations keeping up with the old gospel songs .
Remember the old time. Lesson i learned not to make the same mistakes.
These are true blues songs that display the hardship of life in that era.
Agree
Right? Sublime, isn't it? 🤗
Amen ve Amen ve Baroukh Ha Shem!
Baroukh Ha ba be Shem Adonayi Eloheynou! (Téhilah 118, 26)
one of the best (perhaps the best) renditions of this song
Yes, AMAZING version of this stunning song
I still think the one by The Petersens is better but yeah this is AMAZING
This group has to be one of the best that have ever existed in all time. The singing, the fiddle playing , all of it, it's heaven sent.
As soon as this man starts singing, my 7-year-old son says, "Wow- that just gets ya!" He's determined to sing just like this man lol. 🥰
justKenzie . 😂 good one!
He can do anything he sets his heart and mind too. Just sayn.
That sounds like our soon to be 7 yr old grandson
That young man is absolutely right!
Go ahead on young man! And God's Blessings on you!
I absolutely love his voice.. brings back the 1800s to me.. the old country life., which was the best I’m sure of . Better than 2022!
Becoming a fan of bluegrass and southern music.
It definitely helps when you have such incredible musicians recreating songs like this.
Me too. I used to listen to 80s rock but for some reason it leaves me cold nowadays
As a proud Hillbilly from the Ozarks that grew up playing this with my Family and relatives, having barn dances, this touched my Spirit. Happy tears of love to you all talented youngsters! Never stop. This is your Gift to the World.
Wow - I’m in the uk and love bluegrass and old time gospel music… I’m rubbish at 5-string though!! I take my hat off to all of you guys 🙏🏻❤️👍🏻
I live in the Ozarks!
Knocked it out of the ... I love how you don't have to include all the lyrics... at the end of the song ...we know... sometimes better left "unsaid" ?
Always loved this song from childhood. Love it more now that I’m 71.
Wow! That bass voice really brings out a "dusty roaming cowboy" feel to the song. Thanks, love it!
Thanks
Indeed watching from South Africa
@@SouthernRaisedBG Is he bass or baritone?
Bass!!!

Lyrics to this specific version (mix of Baez's original and Johny cash version):
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm traveling through this world of woe
There's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigil keep
I'm going there to see my Mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home
I'm going there to see my savior
To sing its prayers forever more
I'm just a going over Jordan
I'm just a going over home
I'm just a going over home

He sings with the true emotions that the song needs!
That's some good singing! And harmony
Wow. Praise the Lord.
Thank you!!
Refreshing!
Reminiscent of Tennessee Ernie Ford from about 50 or 60 years ago. They really nailed it. One of my favorites.!
Thanks
Hi there ! Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra do a great version 2 eh. I will look at the one you mentioned 2. Thanks

Whoever does your mixing does an excellent job.
What a beautiful bass voice. Surely a gift from God.
Sitting in public crying my eyes out not caring who see's me.. Of the many cover's of this song, the bass touches the soul.
Has anyone ever performed this song better? You took a great song and totally did it justice. The lead was great, the instrumental work was top notch, and you captured the mood of the song perfectly.
Thank you so much for your kindness! We are so glad you enjoyed it!

Southern Raised songs are so beautiful. I hear them on radio in Maine. Keep it up Southern Raised. This northern raised boy loves your gospel music
What station in Maine? I'd tune in. First I heard/found them is on YT.
