Doc Watson also recorded this song. It is close to the Merle Travis version in the DT, except for variations in the 2nd verse.

I've got a mother, a sister and a brother
They done gone all to that other shore
And i'm determined to go and see them, good Lord
And live up there forever more.

The 1st verse is marked:
Capo III - E (abs. G)

B7 E
I'm a Pilgrim and a Stranger
A E
Traveling Through this worsome Land
E A
I've got a Home built in that yonder City, good Lord
E B7 E
And it's Not Not made by Hand.
