The song "Wayfaring Stranger" is an old song with unknown origins. There are a lot of opinions of where it originated. One theory is that it originates from the Negro Spirituals and there was a deliberate concealment of the song's origins.
It's been recorded countless times.
It became one of Burl Ives signature songs. He became known as "The Wayfaring Stranger".
