I am a pilgrim, a pilgrim of sorrow
Tossed in this wide world
This wide world alone
Ain't got no hope in
This world for tomorrow
Trying to make
Heaven my home
You know sometimes, I get a little troubled
I get a little tormented and worried, lord Jesus
By all of my so called friends, all of my so called friends
Who just won't, who just won't leave me alone
But I'm gonna keep on tryin' and keep on prayin'
That one day it'll all be over
‘Cause Lord, I'm trying to make it
I wanna make heaven my home
Sometimes I'm tossed
Sometimes I'm tossed and driven Lord
And just don't know, said just don't know
Well don't know which way to roam
I am a pilgrim, a pilgrim of sorrow
Tossed in this wide world
This wide world alone
Ain't got no hope in
This world for tomorrow
Trying to make
Heaven my home
