E Esus4 E
I wandered again to my home in the mountain
B B7
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
E
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
B E
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
Esus4
Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
B B7
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
E
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
B E
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
"They all moved a way," said a voice of a stranger "To that bautiful home by the bright crystal sea" Some beautiful day 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.
