Hello stranger

Hello stranger put your lovin' hand in mine

Hello stranger put your lovin' hand in mine

You are a stranger

And you're a pal of mine

Get up rounder let a workin' may lay down

Get up rounder let a workin' man lay down

You are a rounder

But you're all out and down

Every time I ride the six and fourth street car

Every time I ride the six and fourth street car

I can see my baby

Peepin' through the bars

She bowed her head she waved both hands at me

She bowed her head she waved both hands at me

I'm prison bound

I'm longing to be free

Oh I see you when your troubles are like mine

Oh I see you when your troubles are like mine

Oh I see you

When you haven't got a dime

Weepin' like a willow, mournin' like a dove

Weepin' like a willow, mournin' like a dove

There's a girl of the country

That I really love
