Rank Strangers To Me

Well, I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youth’s early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
Ev’rybody I met was a rank stranger to me.
Ev’rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
Ev’rybody I met, rank strangers to me.
Well, they all moved away said the voice of a stranger
To some beautiful home on that bright, crystal sea
Some beautiful day, well, I’ll meet ‘em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me.
Ev’rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
