The Wayfaring Strangers - Rank Stranger 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 nor 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 land 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 nor 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
