Johnny Cash - Wayfaring Stranger

Johnny Cash's recording of Wayfaring Stranger.

Lyrics :

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling thru this world below
Theres no sickness, no toil, no danger
In that bright land to which I go

Im going there to see my Father
And all my loved ones who've gone old
Im just going over Jordan
Im just going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me,
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where Gods redeemed their vigils keep

Im going there to see my Mother
She said shed meet me when I come
So I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home

People, could you just please fucking stop argueing which version's better? Everyone has his own oppinion and if you don't like Johnny Cash odr Ed Sheerans version, then just don't listen to it.... I like both of them, in it's own way! I just want to fucking enjoy this wicked music and please shut the fuck up, twats...

@roquefort88888 Musical appreciation is subjective, and to claim anything else is pure asshole-ism.

We interpret songs and read what we like into them. We compare them to our own experiences, and draw on them later. It's a fantastic part of being a human being.

Some of us have the ability to project our interpretation back into the world through a creative outlet.

The more music there is, the better the world is.

Take it, or leave it. Just don't claim you're right because that makes you wrong.

@chuckups Agreed, he doesn't just cover a song, he makes it his own in a unique way. It doesn't devalue the original in any way.

Whenever johnny cash remade a song, he made it vastly different than the origanal. I really respect that.

@Unknown0321 Wow...Thanks for the heads up! Not heard of them before.. they're awesome :)

[SeducedBySirius]

@JoiiLife I agree. No one is better...they're just different.

[KochisarliHD6]

a nice song with realistic lyrics.

[Unknown0321]

Profane Sass did a really sped up version of this song, look it up they are a really unrecognized band. Not arguing better or anything just thought if people like this song they might enjoy hearing it played a bit differently than usual.

@JoiiLife

I totally agree that it's annoying to have these debates over which version of a piece of music is best. Let's enjoy the music and who wants to listen to the same performance from every artist who sings the song? But I feel the word you used detracted from your perceptive and excellent comment. Also to many people that word causes great discomfort.

who wrote wayfaring stranger? cause ive just heard so many different versions

@MsMaynes you know what? i was just so pissed off to see all these comments just arguing about something completely irrelevant...Maybe i shouldn't have used some specific words but actually i don't really care...
