I wandered again, to my home in the mountains.
Where in youths' early dawn, I's happy and free.
I looked for my friends, but I never could find them.
I found they were all, rank strangers to me.
chorus
Ever'body I methigh (ever'body I met)
Seemed to be a rank strangerhigh (seemed to be a rank stranger)low
No mother or dad (no mother or dad)high
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)high
Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me).
"They've all moved away", said the voice of a stranger.
"To a beautiful home, y the bright crystal sea",
"Some beautiful day, I'll meet 'em in heaven",
"Where no one will be, a stranger to me".
