If you see them father
Please tell them
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

Bound for Canaan land

Well I weep and I moan

And I move slowly on
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
Bound for Canaan land


If you see them sister
Please tell them

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
Bound for Canaan land


Well I weep and I moan
And I move slowly on
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

Bound for Canaan land

If you see them brother

Please tell them
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
Bound for Canaan land


Well I weep and I moan
And I move slowly on

I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
Bound for Canaan land


If you see them mother
Please tell them
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim

Bound for Canaan land

Well I weep and I moan

And I move slowly on
I'm a poor mourning pilgrim
Bound for Canaan land
