Rank Stranger(Album Version) - Tom T. Hall

I wandered again to my home in the mountains

Where in dawn's early light 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 everybody I met

Seemed to be a rank stranger

Seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother no dad No mother no dad

Not a friend could I see

Not a friend could I see

They knew not my name

They knew not my name

And I knew not their faces

And I knew not their faces

I found they were all

I found they were all rank strangers to me

They've all moved away

Said the voice of a stranger

To the 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 everybody I met

Seemed to be a rank stranger

Seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother no dad

No mother no dad

Not a friend could I see

Not a friend could I see

They knew not my name

They knew not my name

And I knew not their faces

And I knew not their faces

I found they were all

I found they were all rank strangers to me
