Total Strangers - Hank Thompson[00:00:00]

Now I was down upon my luck[00:00:04]

And the jobs were hard to find[00:00:05]

I was sort of short on cash[00:00:07]

And my bills way behind[00:00:09]

So I went to see my life long friend[00:00:11]

An old man now by trade[00:00:13]

I figured it's how he had help me out[00:00:15]

With his fortune he had made[00:00:17]

I said old pal I need your help[00:00:19]

I hate to be so bold[00:00:21]

But remember when I saved your life[00:00:22]

Down at the swimming hole'[00:00:24]

Now I'd like to ask a favor[00:00:26]

If you can see your way[00:00:28]

I'd like to have a little loan[00:00:30]

And then I heard him say[00:00:32]

Excuse me total stranger[00:00:34]

I can't seem to recall[00:00:36]

Are you absolutely certain[00:00:38]

That we've ever met at all[00:00:40]

I'd really like to help you out[00:00:42]

As he opened wide the door[00:00:43]

So long total stranger[00:00:45]

That I've never seen before[00:00:47]

Now once I had a girlfriend[00:00:49]

Who really caught my eye[00:00:51]

And when the wife was out of town[00:00:53]

Well I'd court her on the sly[00:00:55]

We'd taken all the nightclubs[00:00:57]

And honky tonk around[00:00:59]

Join at all the parties[00:01:01]

And really do the town[00:01:02]

But then one night my wife came home[00:01:05]

She must have smelled a rat[00:01:07]

She looked around from place to place[00:01:08]

Found where I was at[00:01:11]

Well there we were all cuddled up[00:01:12]

I knew that I was dead[00:01:14]

But before my wife could say a word[00:01:16]

I jumped right up and said[00:01:18]

She's just a total stranger[00:01:20]

Who came in off the streets[00:01:22]

The place is kinda crowded[00:01:24]

So I offered her a seat[00:01:25]

Now I couldn't leave this lady[00:01:27]

Just a standin' on the floor[00:01:29]

She's just a total stranger[00:01:31]

That I've never seen before[00:01:33]

My friend said let's go huntin'[00:01:35]

I've got the gun and chills[00:01:37]

The birds are really flyin'[00:01:39]

And I think we'll do quite well[00:01:40]

He killed a half a dozen[00:01:43]

Then said I supposed[00:01:45]

I really ought to tell you[00:01:47]

That the huntin' season's closed[00:01:48]

About that time he heard a noise[00:01:51]

And he ducked behind a tree[00:01:52]

He took the gun shelled some birds[00:01:54]

And gave them all to me[00:01:56]

Up stepped the old game warden[00:01:58]

And found me standing there[00:02:00]

Before I had a chance to talk[00:02:02]

I heard my friend declare[00:02:04]

He's just a total stranger[00:02:06]

And I was passing by[00:02:08]

I saw this total stranger[00:02:10]

Shoot those birds out of the sky[00:02:11]

It's a shame the way some people[00:02:13]

The laws they do ignore[00:02:15]

Like this total stranger[00:02:17]

That I've never seen before[00:02:19]
