Cat. #0941 (MFH #559) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on February 9, 1970
VERSE 1
I wandered again to my home in th mountain
Where youths early dawn, I was happy an' free
I looked for my friends but never could find them
I found they were all, rank strangers to me
CHORUS:
Everybody I met, seemed to be a rank stranger
No Mother or Dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name, I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
VERSE 2
I searched every face for a sign of a loved one
I asked everyone, where th old folks could be
I went down th road, inquired for some neighbors
But I found they were all rank strangers to me
VERSE 3
They've all moved away, said th voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home, by th bright crystal sea
Some beauytifull day, I'll meet them in Heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
