Stranger Here

[Verse 1]
I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
Oh, yes, I am
I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
Well, because I'm a stranger, everybody wants to dog me 'round

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna write home to daddy to send me my railroad fare
Oh, yes, I am
I'm gonna write home to daddy to send me my railroad fare
Oh, yes, I am
Well, if he don't send it, I don't mind walkin' there

[Verse 3]
Sonny Terry, I'm goin' back home, have to wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes
Oh, yes, I am
Sonny, I'm goin' back home, have to wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes
Oh, yes, I am
When I get back there, I won't have these old stranger blues
Let's walk together, boy

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, I wonder why people treats the strangers so
Oh, Lordy Lord
Well, I wonder why people treats the strangers so
Well, I ain't got no place, I just go from door to door

[Verse 4]
You know, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
Oh, yes, I am
Well, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
Oh, yes, I am
Well, if I ask you for a favor, please don't turn me down
