Pilgrim of Sorrow Lyrics by The Wright Specials

The Complete Motown Singles | Vol. 2: 1962

0

[Chorus]
(I heard of a city called heaven)
I started to make heaven, heaven my home (Heaven my home)
[Verse 1: Betty Knox]
I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow, oh yes I am
I'm tossed in this wide world alone
All, all by myself
No hope Lord, have I for tomorrow
[Chorus]
I started to make heaven, heaven my home
[Verse 2: Delores Hall]
Sometimes I'm tossed and I'm driven (ahh-ahh)
Sometimes I don't know where to roam, mmm (ahh-ahh)
[Chorus]
(I heard of a city called heaven)
I started to make heaven, heaven my home (Heaven my home)
