lirik lagu hank thompson – total strangers
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
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
[chorus 1]
“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”
[verse 3]
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
[verse 4]
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
[chorus 2]
“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”
[verse 5]
my friend said let’s go huntin’ i’ve got the gun and sh~lls
the birds are really flyin’ and i think we’ll do quite well
he k!lled a half a dozen then said, “i supposed
i really ought to tell you that the huntin’ season’s closed”
[verse 6]
about that time he heard a noise and he ducked behind a tree
he took the gun, the sh~lls and 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
[chorus 3]
“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”
