Just Rode In Your Town - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

I’m a stranger here, just rode in your town

Oh, yes, I am, I’m a stranger here, just rode 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

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 pairs 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
