- I am a stranger in this country
From America I came
There is a few here that knows me
Or can tell my name.
It is here in this country
I mean to tarry a while
And its for my own darling
I have wandered many a mile

Some people say I am foolish
More say I am wise
Some more say I am guilty
Of a great many crimes

Like a lady in America
My bride you shall be

And leave my parents behind(continues on next page)- Collector
