I'm a Stranger Here

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

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

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

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
