Some of the words are: "i'm just flying over jordan, i'm just flying over home", and it starts off with something like "i'm a lonely stranger" or something, there's an accordion and a hermonica in it (i think!). Can you please help me out because i couldn't find it in any lyric search engines

Wayfaring Stranger
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While journeying through this land of woe
Old Gospel standard. Eva Cassidy sings a beautiful version.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Ah, travelin' through this world of wough
But there's no sickness, toil, or danger
In that bright world, to which I go.
I'm gonna there to meet my Savior!
I'm going there, no more to roam.
I'm just a goin' over Jordon,
I'm just a goin' over home.
It could possibly have been an underground railroad song, in code for the best time to get away from a slave master and escape to freedom.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling thru this world below
There's no sickness, no toil, no 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 old
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
