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