Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk I'm Only on a Journey Here 
I'm Only on a Journey Here (Edna Loughlin and Harry West) 
Though others plan a future here, I know there's none for me l'm planning on a mansion bright When from this land l'm free Though I must travel on the road Where clouds bed in the sky, l'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and by. 
CHORUS: l'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and bye
 This world is not my dwelling place, It's far beyond the sky;
 I know that God is listening He hears my every cry,
 I'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and by. 
Man's life on earth is short And filled with many cares, Trials sad on every hand, And everywhere a snare, But there is a dwelling place without a tear or sigh, I'm only on a journey here, I'll go home by and by. 
Recorded by Harry and Jeannie West, Folkways RG
