This song is off Help Me to Sing: Songs of The Sacred Harp. Great cover.
Capo 4
Elvis plays C 032013 for a lot of the song, but it sounds fine either way.
Intro C* (032013)
You may tell them madam
When you see this them
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound to the promise land
You may tell them Adam
When you see this them
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound to the promise land
I weep and I moan
And I move slowly on
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m Bound for Canaan land
You may tell them father
When you see them
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound for the promise land
You may tell them my mother
When you see them
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound for the promise land
I weep and I moan
And I move slowly on
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m Bound for Canaan s land

You may tell them my brother
When you see this them
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound to the promise land
You may tell them sweet sister
When you see this them
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound to the promise land
I weep and I moan
And I move slowly on
I m a poor mourning pilgrim
I m bound for Canaan s land
