I'm A Stranger Here - Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee

Version 1
Spoken: I'm a stranger, just blowed in your town
So I want my train fare home, so I have no worries on my baby

I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
Oh, yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
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
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 walkin' down
Go ahead man

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
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, it 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
Let's go out together
Yes, yes, yes

Version 2
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
