I'm a stranger here

And I just moved into your town

I'm a stranger here

And I just moved into your town



Because I'm a stranger

Everybody's doggin' me around

Doggin' me around



Sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so

Yes sir, sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so

They all should remember that they're

They're gonna reap just what they sow

Just what they sow



Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here

Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here

You know that she do

My baby don't really care



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

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

You know I will be welcome, I won't have these stranger blues

These stranger blues



Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line

Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line

I'm gonna pack my bags

I'm gonna move on down that line
