I wandered again to my home in the mountain

Where in youths 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 no dad not a friend I could see

They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

I found they were all rank strangers to me

They've moved all away said the voice of a stranger

To a beautiful home by the bright crystal sea

Some beautiful day I'll meet them in heaven

Where no one will be a stranger to me

Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger

No mother no dad not a friend I could see

They knew not my name and I knew not their faces

I found they were all rank strangers to me

I found they were all rank strangers to me
