Lyrics

I am a stranger in a strange land
Not a friend to lend a helping hand
No place on earth to call my home
I'm bound this weary world to roam

Another day, another town
Someday I may settle down
When I reach my journey's end
Somewhere up around the bend
Share a supper, share a drink
Tell me everything you think
And don't you worry, don't you fret
Though I never will forget

I am a stranger in a strange land
Not a friend to lend a helping hand
No place on earth to call my home
Oh, I'm bound this weary world to roam

Once I got that wanderlust
I had to leave or I would bust
I left my kin, I left my kind
Oh, I left them all behind
A woman's arms, a feather bed
A place to rest my weary head
Adieu my darlin' with the dawn
One last kiss and I'll be gone

Old abandoned railroad track
If only you could take me back
Take me back where once I did abide
But keep on movin's all I know
I can't allow no roots to grow
Though Hellen only knows how much I tried
(Yes I did!)

I am a stranger in a strange land
Not a friend to lend a helping hand
No place on earth to call my own
Oh I'm bound this weary world to roam
