Albert E. Brumley
1942

I wandered again to my home the mountain
Where in youths early drawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank stranger to me

Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank stranger to me

They've all moved away said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day, I'll meet them in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
