Rank Strangers Songtext
von Charlie Musselwhite

I wondered alone
From my home by the river
Where in youth′s early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends
But I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me


Everybody 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

They've all moved away to the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day I′ll meet them in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

Everybody 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
