A Stranger In Town - Sammy Davis, Jr.

Just arrived on the seven-ten;

Thought I’d see the old gang again,

But you know how they come and go,

I’m just a stranger in town!

Everywhere, everyone I see

Seems to wonder who can I be,

And I swear no-one seems to care

About a stranger in town!

I saw a cottage on a lonely old street,

The weeds have grown round the gate.

Somehow I felt that you would wait here my sweet,

But it looks like I’m too late!

Guess I’ll leave on the twelve-o-two,

Can’t believe that there’s no more you!

Is there nothing for me, will I always be A stranger in my own home town?

Guess I’ll leave on the twelve-o-two,

Can’t believe that there’s no more you!

Is there nothing for me, will I always be A stranger in my own home town?

It hurts to be alone

With no-one of your own

When you’re a stranger in your own home town!
