I wandered again to my home in the mountain

Where in my youth's early days 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.

Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

Not a 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 all moved away, said a voice of a stranger

"To that beautiful home by the bright crystal sea"

Some beaautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven

Where no one will be a stranger to me.

Ev'ybody 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.
