Rachel Walker - Coigreach Siubhlach
These are the verses, im not sure if the lines
A' dol a-mhàin thairis Iordain
A' dol a-mhàin dhan dachaidh thall is for the first chorus
Enjoy
Chan eil mi ach nam coigreach siubhlach
Air seachran fad' an t-saoghail bhochd
Is chan eil tinneas, daors' no mhighean
'Sa bhoillsgeach ait' dha bheil mi dol
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While travelling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright world to which I go
Tha mi dol ann a dh'fhaicinn m' athair
Tha mi dol ann gun bhi air chall
A' dol a mhain thairis Iordain
A' dol a mhain dhan dachaidh thall
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
Bidh neulan dubh' cho dlùth gam bhualadh
Is tha mo shligh' cho cas is cruaidh
Tha raointean bòidheach mach air mo bheulaibh
A thug an Ti dha shaor shluaigh
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
Tha mi dol ann a dh'fhaicinn mhathair
A tachradh rium, thug i an geall
A' dol a-mhàin thairis Iordain
A' dol a-mhàin dhan dachaidh thall
I going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
