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
