Total Strangers
Written and recorded by Hank Thompson

G
Now I was down upon my luck and the jobs were hard to find
A7 D7
I was sort of short on cash and my bills were way behind
G C
So I went to see my life long friend an oil man now by trade
G D7 G
I figured it's how he’d help me out with his fortune he had made
C G
I said old pal I need your help I hate to be so bold
A7 D7
But remember when I saved your life down at the swimming hole
G C G
Now I'd like to ask a favor if you can see your way
D7 G
I'd like to have a little loan and then I heard him say


Excuse me total stranger I can't seem to recall
A7 D7
Are you absolutely certain that we've ever met at all
G
I'd really like to help you out as he opened wide the door
C G D7 G
So long total stranger that I've never seen before
C G
Now once I had a girlfriend who really caught my eye
A7 D7
And when the wife was out of town well I'd court her on the sly
G C G
We'd taken all the night clubs and honky tonk around
D7 G
Join at all the parties and really do the town

C G
But then one night my wife came home she must have smelled a rat
A7 D7
She looked around from place to place and found where I was at
G C
Well there we were all cuddled up I knew that I was dead
G A7 D7
But before my wife could say a word I jumped right up and said
G C G
She's just a total stranger who came in off the streets
A7 D7
The place is kinda crowded so I offered her a seat
G C G
Now I couldn't leave this lady just a standin' on the floor
D7 G
She's just a total stranger that I've never seen before


C G
My friend said let's go huntin' I've got the gun and shells
A7 D7
The birds are really flyin' and I think we'll do quite well
G C
He killed a half a dozen then said I suppose
G A7 D7
I really ought to tell you that the huntin' season's closed
G C G
About that time he heard a noise and he ducked behind a tree
A7 D7
He took the gun shelled some birds and gave them all to me
G C G
Up stepped the old game warden and found me standing there
D7 G
Before I had a chance to talk I heard my friend declare

C G
He's just a total stranger and I was passing by
A7 D7
I saw this total stranger shoot those birds out of the sky
G C G
It's a shame the way some people the laws they do ignore
D7 G
Like this total stranger that I've never seen before
