I'm A Stranger Here

Lyrics

(Spoken: I'm a stranger, just blowed in your town,
 so I want my train fare home, so I have no worries on my baby)
 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 99 pair of shoes
 Oh, yes, I am, 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 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
