Some people ask me, what does a stranger, stranger do?
Well, some people ask me, what does a stranger, stranger do?
Well, a stranger wears ragged clothes
And stuffs newspaper in his shoes

Well, I'm a stranger, I'm a long way from home
Yes, I'm a stranger, baby and I'm a long way from home
Well, because I'm a stranger
People wanna try to do me wrong, do me wrong

What you gonna do, baby, when your troubles get like mine?
Well, what you gonna do, baby, when your troubles get like mine?
Well, I know you wanna go spend all my money
Shake and stitch up all the chance

Yes, I'm just a stranger and I'm just shifting through your channel
Well, I'm just a stranger, baby and I'm just passing through your channel
Well, now you know, just because I'm a stranger, baby
And all your fears want to dog me around
