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
