I'm a Stranger Here

I'm a Stranger Here - Brownie McGhee/Sonny Terry

Written by：Whittaker

I'm a stranger

Just blowed in your town

So I want my train fare

Home so I have no worries on my babe

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

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

Go ahead man

Yes yes yes

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 ninety-nine pair of shoes

Oh yes I am

I'm goin' back

Home

Wear out ninety-nine 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

Let's go out together

Yes yes yes
