Bill Monroe - The Wayfaring Stranger
I get chills each time I watch this video... This is Bill Monroe, by himself, singing The Wayfaring Stranger.
Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for posting the music video of Southern Raised performing "Wayfaring Stranger"

Wayfaring Stranger 'well-known American folk and gospel song likely originating in the early 19th century about a plaintive soul on the journey through life. As with most folk songs, many variations of the lyrics exist.'
Lyrics
"I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that great world to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But beautious fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed there vigils keep
I'm going there to see my Mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only goin' over Jordan
I'm only goin' over home
I'm only goin' over home"
