"Wayfaring Stranger" On Banjo

The Wayfaring Stranger originated in the 19th Century as a revival/campmeeting song. It has been recorded many times in the 20th and 21st Century, perhaps becoming most famously associated with Burl Ives in the 1940's. Bill Monroe stated that it was his own favorite song.

"If everyone could just get along this world would be a more boring place, but it would be a good kind of boring."
