The Wayfaring Strangers - Rank Stranger

I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn 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

Everybody I met
Seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother nor 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've all moved away, said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

Everybody I met
Seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother nor 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
I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn 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

Everybody I met
Seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother nor 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've all moved away, said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

Everybody I met
Seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother nor 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

Hey yall. Just to clear up any questions, "No" that's not us singing. Was not trying to fool anyone here, I just love the song and felt like doing a video for it.
