I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones, who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
Yet beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd 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

Really fantastic storytelling that really captures the energy of folk stories and their particular magic. Maintains a really specific metatextuality that ties the reality of the stories in the game to their actual sources from life, often dealing with tragedy and traumas deeply personal to the storytellers. It captures the deep, wide breadth of feelings in folk life, and it does so with a deeply charming aesthetic.
