I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youth's early days 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.


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.

They all moved a way, said a voice of a stranger

"To that bautiful home by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day 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.
