First time I ever used a fake ID was to see these guys at the Quiet Knight in Chicago in 1975 or '74. What a show!

[Pieterman]

Saw these guys in the 70's on a festival in Lochem, of all places, very good concert.

: I'm a stranger, just blowed in your town

So I want my train fare home, so I have no worries on my baby



I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

Oh, yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

Well, because I'm a stranger, everybody wants to dog me 'round

Well, I wonder why some people treat the strangers so

Oh, yes, I do, I wonder why some people treat the strangers so

Well, he may be your best friend that you will never know



I'm gonna write home to daddy send me my railroad fare

Oh, yes, I am, I'm gonna write home to daddy send me my railroad fare

Well, if he don't send it, I don't mind walkin' down

Go ahead man



Well, I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here

Oh, yes, I do, Lord, I wonder if my good girl knows I'm here

Well, if she do, she just don't seem to care



Well, I'm goin' back home wear out 99 pair of shoes

Oh, yes, I am, I'm goin' back home wear out 99 pair of shoes

Well, when I get back home I won't have these old stranger blues



I'm gonna leave this town, nothing here that I can do

Oh, no, it ain't, I'm gonna leave this town, nothing here that I can do

Well, boy, sit right here in the troubadour, sing these old stranger blues

Let's go out together

Yes, yes, yes


I'm a stranger here, just blow'd in your town

Oh, yes, I am, I'm a stranger here, just blow'd in your town

Well, because I'm a stranger, everybody wants to dog me 'round


I'm gonna write home to daddy to send me my railroad fare

Oh, yes, I am, I'm gonna write home to dad to send me my railroad fare

Oh, yes, I am, well, if he don't send it, I don't mind walkin' down


Sonny Terry, I'm goin' back home have to wear out 99 pair of shoes

Oh, yes, I am, Sonny, I'm goin' back home have to wear out 99 pair of shoes

Oh, yes, I am, when I get back there I won't have these old stranger blues

Let's walk together, boy


Well, I wonder why people treats the strangers so

Oh, Lordy Lord, well, I wonder why people treats the strangers so

Well, I ain't got no place I just go from door to door


You know, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

Oh, yes, I am, well, I'm a stranger here, just blowed in your town

Oh, yes, I am, well, if I askin' for a favor, please don't turn me down

I listen to todays music which is almost entirely garbage with all the high tech shit they have at their fingertips and then I listen to these 2 and the magic that one guy with a guitar and another with a harp can produce, I'll take these guys every day of the week and twice on Sunday ! Todays music couldnt shine their shoes
