417 Weeping Pilgrim

Words:

Music: J. P. Reese, 1859

Meter: Irregular

You may tell them, father,
When you see them —

Chorus:

I’m a poor, mourning Pilgrim,
I’m bound for Canaan’s land.
I weep, and I mourn,
And I move slowly on —
I’m a poor, mourning Pilgrim,
I’m bound for Canaan’s land.

You may tell them, mother,
When you see them —

(Chorus)

You may tell them, brother,
When you see them —

(Chorus)

You may tell them, sister,
When you see them —

(Chorus)
