Stranger I know where
you'll fund her

Down the road from here

about a mile and a quarter.
You'll know the place by a
shackey barn, That stands in the field
by a run-down farm, By a pond,

filled up with stagnant water.
Then you'll see a shack nearby,

you'll ask yourself
lwonderwhy it looks so cold,

and lifeless all around.
Chimney rocks are fallin' out,

it looks as though, The fire's gone out

and the biggest part

0fthe house is rotted down.
Though Stranger,

lain't seen her lately.

She don't come around here

like she used to.
You've got her pictured in your mind,

Pretty. gentle. sweet and kind,
You've practiced every

word you're gonna say.
INSTRUMENTAL
He left her with an unborn child,
And a love for him that never died,

And an aching heart,

That sent her to an early grave.
Yes, Stranger I know who you are,

I recognized you from afar,
But you ain't never seen me,

Not one time.
Yes, I know that you're my dad,

From pictures that my Momma had.

And it was me and Momma

that you left behind.
Stranger, you will find her there,
In a peaceful sleep on yonder hill.
Where we once walked, as I do still...

To pick her flowers from the field.
Momma don't need you anymore,
And I don't need you like before,
You can go on back to where you

went before... You're just a stranger.
