Stranger lyrics

In the lowlands, boy, he did wander

In the lowlands, boy, he did roam

Oh, so neglected, so far from his home

He spoke out, where is my mother?

He rushed out a mournful cry

Oh, his dear mother, on her pillow she had died

Bitter the night, loud roared the thunder

Bitter the night, loud was the sound

Oh, his dear father had fallen now and drowned

On the beach, cold rolled the water

On the edge no one to save

Oh, in this danger with rising lapping waves

One sweet voice she heard through her window

In her house she lay him inside

Oh, how her tears would save him where he lied

She begged out unto her father

She begged out, don't let us leave him

Though he's a stranger, so far from his home

For many long years, he labored and loved her

For many long years, he labored then left her

Oh, he's a stranger, so far from his home

In the lowlands, boy, he did wander

In the lowlands, boy, he did roam

Oh, so neglected, so far from his home
