Songcatcher - Wayfaring Stranger - Maria McKee

[@kellysong2256]

This is hands down my favorite version of this song 😮 Her voice is just breathtaking

[@CuyahogaWing]

I am a poor wayfaring stranger traveling through this land of woe and there's no sickness, toil or danger in that bright land to which I go. I'm goin' home to see my father I'm goin' home no more to roam, I am just goin' over Jordan, I am just goin' over home. I know dark clouds will hover o'er me I know my pathway's rough and steep But golden fields lie just before me where weary eyes no more shall weep. I'm goin' home to see my brother, i'm goin' home no more to roam, I am just goin' over Jordan, I am just goin' over home. I want to wear a crown of glory when I get home to that bright land, I want to shout the salvation story in concert with that blood-washed band. I'm goin' home to see my Savior, I'm goin' home no more to roam, I am just goin' over Jordan I am just goin' over home.

She deserves so much more than she got.

[@NittyGrittyRed]

Maria McKee’s voice is amazing.

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

said it once so here's the second , Maria Mckee can make the sunrise cry on a clear day.

[@CuyahogaWing]

Then I am the sunrise on a clear day

[@lindanorris2455]

RIGHT ON!

[@kellysong2256]

That's a very evocative phrase 👍

[@cynthiapatterson9454]

Well, I thought I'd heard my favorite rendition; until now, good job really.

[@johnlaws1262]

none better voice gifted from legends

[@mikehurst2899]

This is by far the best version of this song. Her voice is perfectly and splendidly superb. I can’t see anyone doing it better.

[@lindanorris2455]

GORGEOUS!

[@CuyahogaWing]

What an incredibly perfect voice. Especially for this song 💜

[@gam3rboy0mg58]

Nothing compares

[@tonyabrown2594]

Wonderful song. Thank you for posting this.We had this played at my beautiful mothers' funeral, it was her favorite, as was the movie.

[@smkh19]

I love this song! Her voice is flawless! Absolutely beyond beautiful!

[@scottmontgomery4537]

Wow..that was beautiful.

[@musicrelic8958]

I like the notation where it says "very strong vocals by Maria Mckee..." When was that NOT the case! Old, old song - delivered by a no longer so young Ms. Mckee - and she totally nailed it!

[@MyMoppet52]

Musicrelic Good point. This album is a great showcase for all involved, but she shines! Thanks for your comment, Moppet

[@williamhancock3267]

this song reminds me of my grandma she went home as well in April 10 of 2002 know she sings with the angels.

[@MyMoppet52]

+William Hancock so glad you found this and also glad it brings back memories of your grandma. Music means so much more than just "music". It is part of our memories...of our lives. My best to you, Moppet

[@cityzen2717]

I miss my grandma as well. I remember her playing "I'm thinking tonight of my Blue Eyes" on the old Gibson arch top. I didn't realize she was the only one in my family who truly understood me until after she was gone.

[@dawns31]

She is amazing on this. One of the best i've ever heard.

[@pyrobabyful]

i love this music,and i loved the movie

[@lindanorris2455]

RIGHT ON!

[@jimchastain6840]

Beautiful!

[@sandyhatfield7406]

Beautiful

[@CuyahogaWing]

Wow. The best of this genre I have ever heard. Thank you 💜

[@laughingseagull000]

When I heard this in 1917, I recognized it because of this video!

[@MyMoppet52]

Wow. If I could sing like this people would get tired of hearing me. I'd never shut up! I hope you enjoyed the song. Thanks for your comment. I do know what it feels like when you don't want to do much of anything & it's not "fun". I hope you enjoyed the music though. I have another type of music you might...or might not...enjoy. I might send it to you, just in case you did like it. Again, I appreciate your comment & your visit. Come back anytime. My best to you, Moppet

[@buspassdeb]

Beautiful job-- absolutely compelling

[@TJFlatlander]

Thank you for this mix, I love this music! Songs that you can feel in your soul.

[@MyMoppet52]

TJFlatlander Hello. I just saw your comment on Maria McKee's song. Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to leave a comment. It is appreciated. I'm in the process of organizing my Channel (MyMoppet52) & changing the Playlists up so that people can find what they enjoy. I've got a "Soundtracks" Playlist which has all my Songcatcher songs, along with The Long Riders, & another movie or so. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my songs that are 'old timey' feeling...and my strong female vocalists. Any ideas are welcome. My best to you, Moppet

[@rclaws1347]

I cannot imagine the 16 people who gave this a thumbs down.

[@MyMoppet52]

I think it's a great song. Thank you, Moppet

[@royberridge9039]

No accounting for stupidity, is there? She is the best.

[@adiedavis1]

HeartFelt Music !!!!

[@MyMoppet52]

@gamlastanarn I think she does a wonderful job. I love this version also, and am glad you let me know that you like it. I do appreciate your comment. It's nice to know that people enjoy what you put up. Thank you very much! My best, Moppet (Barbara)

[@MyMoppet52]

@dawns31 I agree! This is so powerful and full of emotion without being 'soppy'. I just love it. It's made me a fan of hers & I wasn't real aware of her before. Thanks so much for commenting. It is appreciated! My best to you, Moppet (Barbara)

[@carolevilangel]

awesome

[@MyMoppet52]

@showme1960 I love this version, but also love Emmylou's version. I will check and see if I have it. Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment. It is appreciated. Please feel free to come back and explore anytime you wish! My best, Moppet (Barbara)

[@betpow]

[@MyMoppet52]

[@lifepoet89]

Do you know where I can find the sheet music to this song? I have looked. I need it with the violin in the background

[@MyMoppet52]

+lifepoet89 I don't know, but there is a site I went to long ago. they showed the notes to songs as people played it. I will see if that site is still up and if they have this song. My best to you, Moppet www.ultimate-guitar.com/search.php?search_type=title&order=&value=wayfaring+stranger+

[@MyMoppet52]

+lifepoet89 They don't have her version up, but here is the link. They have over 11 artists versions up. Good luck. I will keep looking for her version, Moppet

[@MyMoppet52]

+lifepoet89 I found an amazing teaching video of this song. You can watch the video for free, and he talks about the notes and how to make the sounds. If you want to watch this, it is very similar to Maria's version. (I think you can buy more info, but the video has a lot, if you play). www.onlinelessonvideos.com/THE-WAYFARING-STRANGER-WITH-SHEET-MUSIC.html

The Broadman Hymnal, I think....
