Doc Watson & Merle Watson - I'm A Stranger Here Lyrics

Doc Watson & Merle Watson Lyrics

"I'm A Stranger Here"

I'm a stranger here, I just blowed in your town
Yes, I'm a stranger here, I just blowed in your town
And just because I'm a stranger, you don't have to dog me 'round

Sometimes 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

I'm goin' back home wear out 99 pair of shoes
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, I just blowed in your town
I'm a stranger here, I just blowed in your town
And just because I'm a stranger, you don't have to dog me 'round
