[Verse 1]
I've wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends, I never could find them
I found they were all strangers to me

[Chorus]
Everybody I've met seem to be a rank stranger
No mother nor dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name, I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me

[Verse 2]
"They've all moved away," said the voice of a stranger
"To a beautiful home by the bright crystal sea"
Some wonderful day I'll meet them in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

[Chorus]
Everybody I've met seem to be a rank stranger
No mother nor dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name, I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
