- | LYRICS |-
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world alone
There is no sickness, toil nor danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm going home
To see my mother
I'm going home
No more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
I know dark clouds will hover o'er me
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm going home to see my father
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
I'll soon be free from every trial
This form shall rest beneath the sod
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
And enter in that home with God
I'm going home to see my saviour
Who spilt his precious blood for me
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I have heard a dozen versions of this over my lifetime. They usually have mandolin or guitar as principal instrument you hear, never a piano. Karliene's version redefines the standards for this song. The voice is so beautiful, yet plaintive at the same time, and the piano adds to the feeling of peace. It's almost a different (and certainly better) song the way she sings it.

After hearing your songs so many times, I can say, this is your best work so far! Much better than any other version of this song. probably best cover I ever heard.

Your music is beyond amazing and truly healing for the soul. Never let any deter you from following your heart . You are a blessing upon so many far and wide .

I listened to this while playing Shadow of Mordor (hee) and while the genres are different, it still fit so well! You bring so much raw emotion to this, it's a song for any time, any day. Honestly, your version is my favorite of all the renditions I've heard. Incredible singing!

Great singing, as always. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@colleenp8670]

Goodness Karliene! As an American, I can easily say you did this song justice! I am so blessed just to be able to listen to your voice, Thank you!

[@Quentin217]

I think that this is an American song, circa 1730-some.

[@zackeryhowell3756]

amazing as always, thank you for gifting us with this amazing music.

[@ChickenOfAwesome]

This reminded me of some of the songs in 'oh Brother a Where Art Thou'. That film has some gorgeous music that would really suit your style!

[@fusrodamnitsolas3672]

Absolutely amazing! You're voice is stunning and just takes me far away! Thanks Karliene! :D

[@steverogers3945]

My chamber choir did this back in 7th grade, it was one of my most enjoyed songs and one of the most beautiful.

[@TheAmanda4life]

Have you ever thought about doing "If Only" from the 'Holes' movie? I think you could do a brilliant adaption of it

[@avalonmoondancer]

The voice of an angel! Beautiful!

[@BlackRaven87]

Wow! Just wow.

[@jimbaily734]

Not used to hearing this song without a strong southern twang. Different but you captured Appalachia in a very unique and wonderful way

[@chungyanfong8769]

your voice make my heart feel peace again....

[@greyassassin24]

Amazing. Beautiful work as always.

[@IggyTthunders]

This song was the theme for a zombie movie I wrote set in the backwoods of Virginia. I love this version of the song.

[@lunarstorm1620]

Very good song I like it and the few other songs I heard that Karliene song and that I listened to I enjoyed listening to them thank you so much for sharing the songs Karliene.

[@riasgremory4571]

[@Renji9031]

Did that song junior year of high school for my all-state choir audition, and I gotta say, you do this so much more justice than I ever could, and I got in. Keep it up.

[@natebeakley5494]

Your voice is absolutely beautiful! Amazing work with this song. This is one my mother would sing a lot when I was young.

[@sance777]

Beautiful and soulful, I've never heard it in this way before but something in your delivery spoke to me and brought tears to my eyes. Definitely my favorite version of this song ! Congrats and thank you...Also would love it if you ever did your unique version of 'song to the siren' just saying...hint hint... lol

[@ellybellyjelly]

[@peterhuang3080]

Who came back to this after 1917??

[@aurelieojel3611]

[@vickybattersby2657]

As beautiful as ever your voice is just amazing and the songs really touch my heart when i hear them, i was wondering if you would do some songs or versions bad on the drama poldark that's just finished. . Their is some really nice songs in that.. .and please never stop making this beautiful music, i would be sad without it. .

[@DoOmIsMyNamePWI]

Amazing,just amazing dont know what to say

[@ItsMelliB]

Reminds me of The Civil Wars sort of! So sorry I haven't been able to watch video's lately. Life has been busy. Back to normal now though, so I can catch up! Beautiful as always Karliene!

[@Karliene]

Melanie Beck I love the Civil Wars with a passion. Is there anything more beautiful than Joy Williams voice? It gives me serious shivers. And thank you Mel, it's lovely to hear from you again. xx

[@JoeKerr420]

Ive got one for you mi'lady, the unquiet grave. Heard it on the new penny dreadful and thought you could a nice creepy rendition :)

[@DJStrangeAl]

Love

[@welshwitch-gwrachcymraeg639]

Such a beautiful voice, I'd love to hear you do a take on Scarborough Fair :)

[@dianegelinas6635]

Trésors de chansons comme vous Mercy 🌠🕌🗽🌃🌜

[@ailenaguti09]

You have a beautiful voice :)

[@Heart2Chain]

HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL JOB MY DEAR

[@ivanagigi9074]

I really hope someday you'll sing Molly Malone, my favourite Irish folk song!

[@beverlyhayshouston2770]

❤️❤️❤️

[@blakeholland7640]

May I suggest the song "Rebecca" or "In The Darkness" from the soundtrack to the Disney Channel show 'So Weird". You can find the song here on youtube. There was no official soundtrack to the show but I feel your voice would be wonderful for a cover for it. It would be great!!!!

[@bernhardtsen74]

You always sing about songs Against the Stream/Wind/Life! sing a song that embraces Life that says Dream and Go for It!

[@LeyliaFireheart]

I absolutely love this song, and I've heard a number of the covers including Ed Sheeran's. I think you've done a fantastic job with this rendition. I know you love the classics and I encourage you to read "Look at Love" by Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi translated by Nader Khalili I think it might give you a lot of inspiration for another song as well as just be something you might appreciate artistically.

[@sarahgunther2591]

Wow, you're just my favourite person in the world

[@cynthiagibson8768]

I love this rendition of this ageless song. Having trouble though with the lyrics at the "soon be free" stanza. Could someone tell me the words?

[@Ins3rtC0in]

Me encantan tus canciones, I feel like a medieval pagan :P

[@bluarcher5941]

very nice...listen to Leven Rambin's version in the Lost Child movie on Amazon--the very last song while credits are rolling...very haunting.

[@BeautifulXDreamer94]

Oooh, do 'I am stretched on your grave', it would be amazing!

[@Devendim]

I'd love to hear you performing Jevetta Steele's I'm Calling You, it would be something, wouldnt it? :D

[@Sweetdude64]

This sounds spiritual ❤ Would you mind if I include this song in an animation I'm making, with credit of course? :)

[@Ahiga]

I always enjoy hearing you sing,you have an amazing voice,i do wonder how it all started for you the singing,how old where you when you started singing and stuff like that i'm interested to know? If you're willing to tell :)

[@Karliene]

borceShinko I get asked this a lot actually and to be honest, I can't pin-point where it started. I've been singing constantly ever since I was little. I loved Disney movies like 'The Little Mermaid" and 'Sleeping Beauty" and was always trying to replicate their voices, especially Jodie Benson's beautiful voice in 'Part of Your World". I always loved singing and would quite often annoy everyone in my family because I wouldn't shut up. It's always been a huge part of my life and who I am. :-)

[@dla3405]

Have you ever thought about trying any of the other songs from the cold mountain movie? Like Lady Margaret?

[@thedemonicrose]

I really recommend listening to the artist Tom Russell's "Man from God knows where." I think you might like it.

[@HARLYDAVIDZ]

APPROVED BY HARLYLICHUZZ!! AWZZOME!!

[@kellymcginnis9626]

I have a question. Are you into Penny Dreadful? It would be interesting if you sang "The Unquiet Grave" for the new season premiere of Penny Dreadful. It's just a suggestion I love your work and I can't wait for the next song.

[@Karliene]

Kelly McGinnis I'm very much into Penny Dreadful, it's a fantastic show though I haven't watched any of the new season yet. I may wait till I can watch the whole thing in one sitting. I've actually been mentally writing songs for the characters for a while now and feel like I may have to record something soon. It's such an inspiring show for me musically.

[@kellymcginnis9626]

Karliene Cool, I can't wait. You truly know how to capture the essence of a movie/show and make a song out of it. Just three or so weeks to go for season two.

[@umbraluna499]

totally did not understand the fact she was talking about death until the last verse

[@victoriapiva3467]

Anyone from 1917

[@juliecurry3533]

I know that voice, from a folk show

[@kitichaii9119]

Original? Where?

[@jasonjames9121]

yh

[@carrioncrow13]

He's going over Jordan? Poor lad...

[@blacksheepwall79]

Its a reference to going to Heaven. Something to look forward to

[@KuramiRocket]

Nice song. Just wish it didn't have to include God in it.
