I wandered a-gain - 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 strangers to me. CHORUS Ever'body I met (ECHO: ever'body I met) Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger) No mother or dad (no mother or 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). "They've all moved away" - said the voice of a stranger "To a beautiful home - by the bright crystal sea" Some beautiful day - I'll meet 'em in heaven Where no one will be - a stranger to me. CHORUS
