[Verse 1]
I wandered again
To my home in the mountains
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

[Chorus]
Everybody I met (Everybody I met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (Seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (No mother nor 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 (Rank strangers to me)

[Verse 2]
"They've all moved away"
Said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home
By the brght crystal sea
Some beautiful day
I'll meet 'em in Heaven
Where no one will be
A stranger to me
[Chorus]
Everybody I met (Everybody I met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (Seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (No mother nor 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 (Rank strangers to me)
