I'm a Stranger Here

I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

Yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

And just because I'm a stranger, you don't have to dog me 'round


Well, I wonder why some people treat the strangers so

Sometimes I wonder why some people treat the strangers so

I can't find a place to stay, lord, I just go from door to door


I'm gonna write home to daddy to send me my railroad fare

Oh, yes, I will, I'm gonna write home to daddy send me my railroad fare

And boys, if he can't send it, I don't mind walkin' there


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 a stranger here, just blowed in your town

Yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

And just because I'm a stranger, you don't have to dog me 'round
