Stranger Here Songtext
von Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee

I′m a stranger here
Just blowed in your town, oh yes I am
I'm a stranger here
I just blowed in your town
Well, because I′m a stranger
Everybody wants to dog me 'round

I'm gonna write home to daddy
To send me my railroad fare, oh yes I am
I′m gonna write home to daddy
To send me my railroad fare, oh yes I am
Well, if he don′t send it
I don't mind walkin′ down


Sonny Terry, I'm goin′ back home
Have to wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes, oh yes I am
Sonny, I'm goin′ back home
Have to wear out ninety-nine pair of shoes, oh yes I am
When I get back there
I won't have these old stranger blues

Well, I wonder why
People treat a stranger so, oh Lordy Lord
Well, I wonder why
People treat a stranger so
Well, I ain't got no place
I just go from door to door

You know I′m a stranger here
I just blowed in your town, oh yes I am
Well, I′m a stranger here
I just blowed in your town, oh yes I am
Well, if I ask you for a favor
Please don't turn me down
