| Well, I’m going down that highway
 | 
| Going to another town
 | 
| And if I ever find what I’m looking for
 | 
| Well then maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Well, I worked my way from Boston
 | 
| To that San Francisco Bay
 | 
| And baby what I was looking for
 | 
| I couldn’t find along the way
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Oh, I never had been contented
 | 
| No matter where I roam
 | 
| Ooh, it ain’t no fun to see the setting sun
 | 
| When you’re far away from your home
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Now, I’ve worked in the mills of Pittsburgh
 | 
| In the hills of Tennessee
 | 
| Oh, baby all I want is to find me a job
 | 
| That will set my mind at ease
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| I’m a stranger in your town
 | 
| Why don’t you help me brother
 | 
| And maybe I’ll settle down |
