An old American hymn that Doc Watson had recorded, it closes World Gone Wrong.
The words
A traveler finds the grave of a pilgrim who died far from home, and the dead man speaks of peace.
A hymn in which a visitor stands at the grave of a stranger who died while journeying, and the dead pilgrim answers, telling him not to grieve because he is at rest and at home. It turns a lonely death into a calm acceptance. Dylan sings it quietly and tenderly, a soft ending to an album full of murder and misfortune.
