Rank Strangers Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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 

I looked for my friends but I never could find them 

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 

Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger 

No mother or dad not a friend could I see 

I looked for my friends but I never could find them 

I found they were all rank strangers to me
