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

Well, 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

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