The Stranger’s Me (1967) Songtext
von George Jones

There′s a story spreading 'round
′bout a stranger in our town
And the people say
he's weird as he can be

Big sunglasses, a big black hat,
They all say, "say, who's that?"
Up till now, they still don′t know
The stranger′s me

Oh, I will die, if they find out
I'm the fool they laughed about
After all the times they warned me
She would break my heart and leave

I′ve been living in disguise
Hiding from her shameful lies
Up till now, they still don't know
The stranger′s me


Changed the style of clothes I wear,
Changed the way I combed my hair
Friends are pointin' fingers asking, "who is he?"

My old self ain′t been the same
Since my babe has brought me shame
Up till now, they still don't know
The stranger's me

Oh, I will die if they′d find out
I′m the fool they laughed about
After all the times they warned me
She would break my heart and leave

I've been living in disguise
Hiding from her shameful lies
Up till now, they still don′t know
The stranger's me

Up till now, they still don′t know
The stranger's me
