Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine
Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine

You are a stranger and you're a pal 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
Oh every time I ride the six and fourth street car
Every time I ride the six and fourth street car
I can see my baby peeping through the bars
Well, he bowed his head and he waved both hands at me
He bowed his little head oh and he waved both hands at me
I'm prison bound and longing to be free
Oh, I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
I'll see you when your troubles are like mine
Oh, I'll see you when you haven't got a dime
Weeping like a willow and moaning like a dove
Weeping like a willow oh and moaning like a dove
There's a man up country that I really love
Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine
Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine
You are a stranger and you're a pal of mine
