Stranger's Blues
Wandering Soul in a New Town: Dirty Trainload's Stranger's Blues
Lyrics
I'm a stranger here
I feel like an outsider in this place
cnd I just moved into your town
I recently relocated to your town
I'm a stranger here
Reiterating that I am unfamiliar here
cnd I just moved into your town
Emphasizing my recent move to your town
Because I'm a stranger
Being treated poorly because I'm not known
Everybody's doggin' me around
Experiencing mistreatment by everyone
Doggin' me around
Reiteration of mistreatment
Sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so
Expressing confusion about the harsh treatment towards a newcomer
Yes sir, sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so
Reflecting on the unjust treatment of strangers
They all should remember that they're
Reminding others that they will face consequences for their actions
They're gonna reap just what they sow
Highlighting the principle of reaping what is sown
Just what they sow
Reiteration of the consequences of one's actions
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here
Wondering if my loved one is aware of my presence
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here
Expressing uncertainty about my loved one's awareness
You know that she do
Confident that my baby is aware and indifferent
My baby don't really care
Asserting that my baby doesn't really care
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
Contemplating a journey south if faced with hardships
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
Expressing willingness to endure challenges for a warm welcome
You know I will be welcome, I won't have these stranger blues
Expecting a friendly reception without the stranger blues
These stranger blues
Reiteration of the challenges faced as a stranger
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line
Explaining a temporary halt due to track issues
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line
Reiterating the reason for the train stop
I'm gonna pack my bags
Preparing to leave and move forward
I'm gonna move on down that line
Determined to continue the journey down the line
