Stranger Here Lyrics by Odetta

Sometimes I Feel Like Cryin’

1962

Ain't it hard to stumble
When you got no place to fall
Ain't it hard to stumble
When you got no place to fall
Stranger here
Stranger everywhere
I would go home
But honey I'm a stranger

And I'm a stranger here
Just floating in your town
And I'm a stranger here
Just floating in your town
Just because I'm a stranger
Everybody wants to dog me around

Oh I wonder how some peope
Can dog a poor stranger's soul
Now I wonder how some people
Can dog a poor stranger's soul
They should remember
They gonna reap just what they sow

It ain't hard to stumble
Got no place to fall
You know it's hard to stumble
Got no place to fall
Stranger here
Stranger everywhere
You know I would go home
But honey I'm a stranger there
