Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine,
Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine,
You are a stranger, but you’re a pal of mine.

Get up rounder, let a working may lay down
Get up rounder, let a working man lay down
You are a rounder, but you’re all out and down

Every time I ride Six and Fourth Street car
Every time I ride Six and Fourth Street car
I can see my baby peeping through the bars

She bowed her head, she waved both hands at me
she bowed her head, she waved both hands at me

Oh, I’ll see you, when your troubles are like mine
Oh, I’ll see you, when your troubles are like mine
Oh, I’ll see you, when you haven’t got a dime

Weeping like a willow and mourning like a dove
Weeping like a willow and mourning like a dove
There’s a girl of the country that I really love

Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine
Hello stranger, put your loving hand in mine
You are a stranger, and you’re a pal of mine
