The Imperial Quartet – I’m A Pilgrim, I’m a Stranger (Victor 18199, 1917)
Dit is waarschijnlijk de oudste opname van deze gospel.
De song kennen wij vooral door de Byrds.
De song komt reeds voor in “The Southern Zion’s Songster”, No. 45 op p. 43, , Raleigh, NC. in 1864 en in “Hymns For the Camp,” 1862.
De tekst uit 1862 :
“I’m a pilgrim and I’m a stranger,
I can tarry but a night.
Do not detain me, for I am going
To where the rivers are ever flowing.
There the sunbeams are ever shining;
I am hoping for the sight,
Within a country unknown and dreary
I have been wandering, forlorn and weary.
Of the country to which I’m going,
My redeemer is the light;
There is no sorrow nor any sighing,
Nor any sinning nor any dying.
I’m a pilgrim and I’m a stranger,
I can tarry but a night.”
