Hello Stranger - Carter Family

Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine

Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine

You are a stranger and you’re a friend of mine

Get up, rounder, let a working girl lay down

Get up, rounder, let a working girl lay down

You are a rounder, but you’re all out and down

Every time I ride the 6th and 4th streetcar

Every time I ride the 6th and 4th streetcar

I can see my baby peeping through the bars

He bowed his head, he waved both hands at me

He bowed his head, he waved both hands at me

He’s prison bound and longing to be free

Oh, I’ll see you when your troubles are like mine

Oh, I’ll see you when your troubles are like mine

Yes, I’ll see you when you haven’t got a dime

Weeping like a willow, moaning like a dove

Weeping like a willow, moaning like a dove

There’s a man up country that I really love

Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine

Hello, stranger, put your loving hand in mine

You are a stranger and you’re a friend of mine
