Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Hello Stranger

Hello stranger

Put your loving hand in mine

Hello stranger

Put your loving hand in mine

You are a stranger

And you're a friend of mine

Get up, rounder

Let a working girl lay down

Get up, rounder

Let a working girl lay down

You are a rounder

And you're all out and down

Now every time

I ride the six and four streetcars

Every time

I ride the six and four streetcars

I can see my baby

Peeping through the bars

When he bowed his head

And he waved both hands at me

He bowed his head

And he waved both hands at me

He's prison bound

And longing to be free

Well, I'll see you

When your troubles are like mine

I'll see you

When your troubles are like mine

Yes, I'll see you

When you haven't got a dime

Weaving like a willow

And moaning like a dove

Weaving like a willow

Well, hello stranger

Put your loving hand in mine

Hello stranger

Put your loving hand in mine

You are a stranger

And you're a friend of mine
