Rank Strangers
     3/4 key=E
  
     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 

     CHORUS
     [ 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       ]

     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
