rank strangers to me

Lyrics

i wandered again to my home in the mountain, where in 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, 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 all moved a way, said a voice of a stranger, "to that bautiful home by the bright crystal sea", some beautiful day i'll meet 'em in heaven, where no one will be a stranger to me. ev'rybody 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.
