I'm a stranger here, I just rode in your town

I'm a stranger here, I just rode in your town

And just because I'm a stranger, everybody dogs me around

Well, I wonder how come they treat a poor stranger so

Well, I wonder how come they treat a poor stranger so

And they all should remember, they've gotta reap just what they sow

And sometimes I wonder, do my baby know I'm here?

Yes, sometimes I wonder, do my baby know I'm here?

Well and if she do, she sure don't even care, oh no

Well I'm goin' back south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes

Yes, I'm goin' back south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes

Well and you know I will be welcome, I won't have no more of them stranger blues

Well, my train turn here and tracks all out of line

Yes, this train turn here and the tracks all out of line

I'm gonna pack up my shoes and move on down the line
