I wandered again to my home in the mountains

Where in youths early dawn I was happy and free

I looked for my friends but I never could find them

I found they were all rank stranger to me

Chorus:

Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother nor dad not a friend could I see

They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

I found they were all rank stranger to me

They've all moved away said the voice of a stranger

To a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea

I know that some day I'll met them in heaven

Where no one will be a stranger to me

Chorus:

Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger…
