I was a stranger
passin' through your town
I was a stranger passin'

Well, I asked her, babe,
but good gal, you turned me down

talkin' down that railroad track
You may see me out a -walkin',
talkin' down that railroad track
But good gal, you done me wrong,
I ain't never comin' back
It's the truth,
honey
I've rode that old southern,
I've rode that hell at the
end
And if the police don't get me,
I'm gonna ride them again
Now, some like Chicago,
some love Memphis, Tennessee
Some like Chicago,
some love Memphis, Tennessee
Hey, pretty mama, give me sweet
Dallas, Texas
Where the women think the world
of me

I'm I'm havin' my troubles, too
You may be havin' your troubles
I'm havin' my troubles, too

When you're feelin' so doggone blue

I'm just tellin' you the
hard luck I've had
I'm not singin' blues
I'm just tellin' you the
hard luck I've had
Cause the blues ain't nothin'
but a good man feelin' bad
