I'm a stranger here, just blow'd in your town, Oh, yes, I am!

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 dad to send me my railroad fare, Oh, yes, I am! 
Well, if he don't send it, I don't mind walkin' down. 
 
I'm goin' back home have to wear out ninetynine pair of shoes, Oh, yes, I am! 
I'm goin' back home have to wear out ninetynine pair of shoes, Oh, yes, I am! 
When I get back there I won't have these old stranger blues. 
 
Let's walk together, boy 
 
Well, I wonder why people treats the strangers so, Oh, Lordy Lord! 
Well, I wonder why people treats the strangers so. 
Well, I ain't got no place I just go from door to door. 
 
You know, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town; Oh, yes, I am! 
Well, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town; Oh, yes, I am! 
Well, if I askin' for a favor, please don't turn me down.
