Well I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
Ev'rybody I met was a rank stranger to me
Ev'rybody 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
Ev'rybody I met rank strangers to me
"Well they all moved away" said the voice of a stranger
"To some beautiful home on that bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day well I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
Ev'rybody 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
