Lyrics Rank Strangers (Live) - Ralph Stanley

I wondered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youths 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
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 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
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
Rank strangers to me
