Harris, Emmylou - Hello Stranger Lyrics






Hello stranger
Put your loving hand in mine
You are a stranger
And you're a friend of mine
Get up, rounder
Let a working girl lay down
You are a rounder
And you're all out and down

Every time
I ride the four and six street cars
I can see my baby
Peeping through the bars

He bowed his head
And he waved both hands at me
He's prison bound
And longing to be free

I'll see you
When your troubles are like mine
Yes. I'll see you
When you haven't got a dime

  9. T.... W....

    When I’d play this in the car I’d sing Emmylou’s part then replay it and sing Nicolette’s part. Fun sing along by my lonesome.

    T.... W....

    Years ago I would play this tune on the stereo and my little beagle dog would howl along with the tune.

  10. M.... P....

    Needs a man's voice.

    M.... P....

    I don't think so.

    M.... P....

    @pecvillian Of course it does. It was originally written as a duet for a man and a women. Have you not listened to the words? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8pwuk-Yc3E

    M.... P....

    Actually, it was originally female voices, Sara and Maybelle Carter, who sang this, with some "bassin' in" by AP Carter. Another female version is by Hazel and Alice.

  11. I.... A....

    There was a time when Emmylou could sing, it has passed.

    I.... A....

    I think she still sings pretty good.

  17. R.... L....

    RIP Nicolette

    R.... L....

    So sad such a great pair

  18. D.... R....

    GeeHaw,Mule...Don't Git No Better'n,Emmylou...

  19. G.... X....

    out of the states this kind of music it's not easily drinkable

    G.... X....

    What do you mean?

    G.... X....

    well, country music , even the good one , wich is the music of emmylou ...it's not so popular, i guess is kind of strictly for the americans

    G.... X....

    You Re right I m French and lived in the US as a teenager and and it seems to me that very few people in my country listen and like this kind of music. But I love it.

    G.... X....

    Quand j'etais jeune, je chantais cette chanson mille fois pour les "gigs" avec un groupe de "Bluegrass." En 1979, il y avait beaucoup de personnes qui aiment cette musique, mais pas encore. Alors, il faut que je la chante encore une fois, avant d'etre trop vieille! Je suis americaine, et je cherche les moments a "parler" francais. J'en ai oublie trop...

  20. F.... L....

    There she goes again!!

  21. D.... R....

    always,singin Purty....
