Well, I wandered again to my home in the mountain Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free I looked for my friends but I never could find them Ev'rybody I met was a rank stranger to me. Ev'rybody 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 Ev'rybody I met, rank strangers to me. "Well, they all moved away" said the voice of a stranger "To some beautiful home on that bright, crystal sea" Some beautiful day, well, I'll meet 'em in heaven Where no one will be a stranger to me. Ev'rybody 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.
