Hello Stranger

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 and you're all out and down
Now every time I ride the six and four street cars
Every time I ride the six and four street cars
I can see my baby peeping through the bars.
Well, he bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
He bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
He's prison bound and longing to be free
Well I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
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 and mournin' like a dove.
Weeping like a willow and mournin' like a dove.
That man I really yes 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...
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 and you're all out and down
Now every time I ride the six and four street cars
Every time I ride the six and four street cars
I can see my baby peeping through the bars.
Well, he bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
He bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
He's prison bound and longing to be free
Well I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
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 and mournin' like a dove.
Weeping like a willow and mournin' like a dove.
That man I really yes I really love
Hello stranger put your loving hand in mine
