I'm a stranger here, just rode in your town
|
Oh, yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just rode in your town
|
Well, because I'm a stranger, everybody wants to dog me 'round
|
|
Well, I wonder why some people treat the strangers so
|
Oh, yes, I do, I wonder why some people treat the strangers so
|
Well, he may be your best friend that you will never know
|
|
I'm gonna write home to daddy send me my railroad fare
|
Oh, yes, I am, I'm gonna write home to daddy send me my railroad fare
|
Well, if he don't send it, I don't mind walkin' down
|
|
Well, I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here
|
Oh, yes, I do, lord, I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here
|
Well, if she do, she just don't seem to care
|
|
Well, I'm goin' back home wear out 99 pair of shoes
|
Oh, yes, I am, I'm goin' back home wear out 99 pair of shoes
|
Well, when I get back home I won't have these old stranger blues
|
|
I'm gonna leave this town, nothing here that I can do
|
Oh, no, it ain't, I'm gonna leave this town, nothing here that I can do
|
Well, boy, sit right here in the troubadour, sing these old stranger blues
|
