Hello there stranger
Does this, road go all the way to Little Rock?
I've been standing here all day
And it hasn't gone nowhere yet

Your corn looks awful little and yeller
I planted the little yeller kind

Hello stranger
Well, hi there stranger
I don't believe that you're too far from a fool, are you?
Believe what?
I said I don't believe you're very far from a fool
No thats right, son
Just this guitar and mandolin here between us

Hello Stranger
Well, hiya stranger
How'd your potatoes turn out?
They didn't turn out at all
I had to dig them out

Hello stranger
Well, hello stranger

And when the suns a shinin
Why, it dont leak!
