[Verse]
         E                                E7
I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
         A                                E
I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town
        B                                               E
Just because I'm a stranger everybody wants to dog me around

[Verse]
 E                                      E7
Lord, I wonder do my good gal know I'm here?
 A                                      E
Lord, I wonder do my good gal know I'm here
       B                                E
Well, if she do she sure don't seem to care

[Verse]
 E                                      E7
How can some people dog a poor stranger so
 A                                      E
How can some people dog a poor stranger so
       B                                        E
They should remember they gonna reap what they sow

[Verse]
          E                                       E7
I would stay up North but nothing here that I can do
          A                                       E
I would stay up North but nothing here that I can do
      B                                                  E
Just hang around the corner and sing the poor stranger blues

[Solo]
E E7 A E B E

[Verse]
           E                                                E7
Mama, I'm going back South if I wear ninety-nine pairs of shoes
           A                                                E
Mama, I'm going back South if I wear ninety-nine pairs of shoes
         B                                                    E
Then I know I'll be welcome and I won't have the stranger's blues
