Hello Stranger (Listen to original song)

A

1. Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine,

D A

hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine,

E A

you are a stranger, and you're a pal of mine.

A

2. Get up rounder, let a working may lay down,

D A

get up rounder, let a working man lay down,

E A

you are a rounder, but you're all out and down.

A

3. Every time I ride Six and Fourth Street car,

D A

every time I ride Six and Fourth Street car,

E A

I can see my baby peeping through the bars.

A

4. She bowed her head, she waved both hands at me,

D A

she bowed her head, she waved both hands at me,

E A

I'm prison bound, I'm longing to be free.

A

5. Oh, I'll see you, when your troubles are like mine,

D A

oh, I'll see you, when your troubles are like mine,

E A

oh, I'll see you, when you haven't got a dime.

A

6. Weeping like a willow and mourning like a dove,

D A

weeping like a willow and mourning like a dove,

E A

there's a girl of the country that I really love.
