Rank Stranger

1 5 1
I wandered again to my home in the mountain
5
Where in youth’s early dawn I was happy and free
5 1
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
5 1
I found they were all rank strangers to me
 

1
Everybody I met (everybody I met)
5 1
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
 
No mother or dad (no mother or dad)
5
Not a friend I could see (not a friend could I see)
1
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
5 1
And I knew not their faces (and I knew not their faces)
 
I found they were all (I found they were all)
5 1 4 1
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 them in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
