I’m a Stranger Here Songtext
von Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee

I′m a stranger, just blowed in your town
So I want my train fare home, so I have no worries on my brain

I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town, oh, yes, I am
I′m a stranger here, just blowed in your town, kick it

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 (ooh) 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 walking down, go ahead then


Da-da, do, da-da-da, do
Do, da-da-da-da, do-da
Yes, yes, yes
Woo!

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 (ooh)
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, there 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 (ooh)

Let′s go out together
Yes, yes, yes
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Come on, don't do that
