Stranger Songtext
von Seth Lakeman

In the lowlands boy he did wander,
In the lowlands boy he did roam,
Oh, so neglected so far away from his home.

He spoke out where is my mother,
He rushed out a mournful cry,
Oh, his dear mother her pillow she had died.

Bitter the night, loud roared the thunder,
Bitter the night, loud was the sound,
Oh, his dear father had fallen now and drowned.


On the beach, cold rolled the water,
On the edge, no one to save,
Oh, in this danger with rising lapping waves.

One sweet voice she heard through her window,
In her house she lay him inside,
Oh, how her tears saved him where he lied.

She begged out unto her father,
She begged out don′t let us leave him,
Though he's a stranger so far from his home.

For many long years he laboured and loved her
For many long years he laboured then left her,
Well oh, he′s a stranger so far from his home.


In the lowlands boy he did wander,
In the lowlands boy he did roam,
Oh, so neglected so far away from his home.
