Lyrics: Natalie Merchant. The House Carpenter's Daughter. Weeping Pilgrim.


If you see them father
please tell them
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

well I weep and I moan
and I move slowly on
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

if you see them sister
please tell them
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

well I weep and I moan
and I move slowly on
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

if you see them brother
please tell them
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

well I weep and I moan
and I move slowly on
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

if you see them mother
please tell them
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land

well I weep and I moan
and I move slowly on
I?m a poor mourning pilgrim
bound for Canaan land
