I'm a stranger here, just blow'd in your town
Oh, yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blow'd 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 dad 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 99 pair of shoes
Oh, yes, I am, Sonny, I'm goin' back home have to wear out 99 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
