Hello Stranger

Hello stranger, put your lovin' hand in mine

Hello stranger, put your lovin' hand in mine

You are a stranger, and you're a pal of mine

Get up round her, let a workin' man lay down

Get up around her, let a workin' man lay down

You're all around her, but you're all out and down

Every time around the 6th and 4th Street column

Every time around the 6th and 4th Street column

I can see my baby, oh, peepin' through them bars

She bowed her head, and she waved both hands at me

She bowed her head, she waved both hands at me

I'm prison-bound, and I'm longin' to be free

Oh, I'll see you when your troubles are like mine

Oh, I'll see you when your troubles are like mine

Oh, I'll see you when you haven't got a dime

Weepin' like a willow and moanin' like a dove

Weepin' like a willow and moanin' like a dove

There's a girl of a country that I really love

Hello stranger, put your lovin' hand in mine

Hello stranger, put your lovin' hand in mine

You are a stranger, and you're a pal of mine

You are a stranger, and you're a pal of mine
