The Way Worn Traveler Lyrics
(The original Carter Family recorded this song in 1936)
-Solo-
I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad
And struggling up a mountain, it seemed that he was sad
His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone
But he shouted as he journeyed, deliverance will come
Refrain:
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory, I shall wear Yes, palms of victory, crowns of glory
Palms of victory, I shall wear
The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow
His garments torn and dusty, his steps were very slow
But he kept pressing onward, for he was wendin' home
Still shouting as he journeyed, deliverance will come
Refrain
