I'm a stranger here
And I just got in your town
I'm a stranger here
And I just got in your town
And just because I'm a stranger
Everybody's doggin' me around

I wonder how it come
You despise this stranger so
I wonder how it come
You despise this stranger so
You all should remember
You're gonna reap just what you sow

Oh, I'm goin' back home
If I have to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Yes, I'm goin' back home
If I have to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well, I won't be no more stranger
No more stranger blues

I'm a stranger here
And I just got in your town
A stranger here
And I just got in your town
Just because I'm a stranger
Everybody's doggin' me around
Well, I'll pack my suitcase
And I'll move back down the line
I'm gonna pack my suitcase
I'm gonna move back down the line
Well, there won't be nobody worryin'
And nobody cryin'
