Total Stranger |
| Now I was down upon my luck |
| And the jobs were hard to find |
| I was sort of short on cash |
| And my bills were way behind |
| So I went to see my life long friend |
| An old man now by trade |
| I figured it’s how he had help me out |
| With his fortune he had made |
| I said,? |
| Old pal, I need your help |
| I hate to be so bold |
| But remember when I saved your life |
| Down at the swimming hole |
| Now I’d like to ask a favor |
| If you can see your way |
| I’d like to have a little loan? |
| And then I heard him say |
| ? |
| Excuse me total stranger |
| I can’t seem to recall |
| Are you absolutely certain |
| That we’ve ever met at all?" |
| «I'd really like to help you out? |
| As he opened wide the door |
| ? |
| So long total stranger |
| That I’ve never seen before? |
| Now once I had a girlfriend |
| Who really caught my eye |
| And when the wife was out of town |
| Well, I’d court her on the sly |
| We’d taken all the nightclubs |
| And honky tonk around |
| Join at all the parties |
| And really do the town |
| But then one night my wife came home |
| She must have smelled a rat |
| She looked around from place to place |
| And found where I was at |
| Well, there we were all cuddled up |
| I knew that I was dead |
| But before my wife could say a word |
| I jumped right up and said |
| ? |
| She’s just a total stranger |
| Who came in off the streets |
| The place is kinda crowded |
| So I offered her a seat" |
| «Now, I couldn’t leave this lady |
| Just a standin' on the floor |
| She’s just a total stranger |
| That I’ve never seen before? |
| My friend said let’s go huntin' |
| I’ve got the gun and chills |
| The birds are really flyin' |
| And I think we’ll do quite well |
| He killed a half a dozen |
| Then said,? |
| I supposed |
| I really ought to tell you |
| That the huntin' season’s closed? |
| About that time he heard a noise |
| And he ducked behind a tree |
| He took the gun, shelled some birds |
| And gave them all to me |
| Up stepped the old game warden |
| And found me standing there |
| Before I had a chance to talk |
| I heard my friend declare |
| ? |
| He’s just a total stranger |
| And I was passing by |
| I saw this total stranger |
| Shoot those birds out of the sky? |
| ? |
| It’s a shame the way some people |
| The laws they do ignore |
| Like this total stranger |
| That I’ve never seen before? |
