Lyric Hello Stranger

(A.P. Carter)

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
You are a rounder
And you re all out and down

Every time
I ride the four and six street cars
I can see my baby
Peeping through the bars

He bowed his head
And he waved both hands at me
He s prison bound
And longing to be free

I ll see you
When your troubles are like mine
Yes. I ll see you
When you haven t got a dime
