I´m a Stranger Here - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry

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
