I'm a stranger here
And I just blowed in your town
I'm a stranger here
And I just blowed in your town
And just because I'm a stranger
Everybody dogged me around.

I wonder how come
Everybody dogs a poor stranger so
I wonder how come
Everybody dogs a poor stranger so
I hope they remember
They're gonna reap just what they sow.

Sometimes I wonder
Do they really know I care
Sometimes I wonder
Do they really know I care
And if they don't
Then I know they don't even care.

I'm leaving this town
If I wear ninety-nine pair of shoes
I'm leaving this town
If I wear ninety-nine pair of shoes
Won't be no more stranger
And no more Stranger Blues.

It's a strange town here
Tracks are laid out of line.
It's a strange town here
Tracks are laid out of line.
Gonna pack my clothes
And move on down the line.
