I'm a stranger here 
And I just moved into your town 
I'm a stranger here 
And I just moved into your town 

Because I'm a stranger 
Everybody's doggin' me around 
Doggin' me around 

Sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so 
Yes sir, sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so 
They all should remember that they're 
They're gonna reap just what they sow 
Just what they sow 

Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here 
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here 
You know that she do 
My baby don't really care 

Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes 
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes 
You know I will be welcome, I won't have these stranger blues 
These stranger blues 

Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line 
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line 
I'm gonna pack my bags 
I'm gonna move on down that line
