Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

This in't never been my home

[Verse 2]

Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys

Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys

Sometimes the road was rocky along the way, boys

But I was travelin' alone

[Verse 3]

We meet again on some bright highway

Songs to sing and tales to tell

But I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

Until I see you, fare thee well

[Verse 4]

Ain't no need to cry for me, boys

Ain't no need to cry for me, boys

Ain't no need to cry for me, boys

Somewhere down the road you'll understand

[Verse 5]

'Cause I expect to touch His hand, boys

I expect to touch His hand, boys

I expect to touch His hand, boys

I'll put a word in for you if I can

[Verse 6]

We meet again on some bright highway

Songs to sing and tales to tell

But I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys

Until I see you, fare thee well

[Verse 7]

(I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys)

(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)

(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)

(Until I see you, fare thee well)

[Verse 8]

(I'm just a pilgrim on this road, boys)

(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)

(I'm just a pilgrim on this road)
