Rank Strangers

Lyrics

I wandered again to my home in the mountains Where in youth's 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 Everybody 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, 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 Everybody 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, rank strangers to me
