I'm a hard working Stranger, Stranger here in town
I'm a hard working stranger and I don't mess around
I'll be leaving here one morning, leaving on the steam drive train
I'm gonna find me a lover and get my pay check through

I don't want no trouble, I don't want no fights
But when I'm up against it, I stand up for my rights
I'm a hard working stranger, I'm a stranger here in town
Don't nobody bug me, don't you ever make me blue

I ain't no lawbreaker, I don't take no risks
Always get the job done and then I get my kicks
Oh I'm a hard working stranger, Stranger here in town
I'm leaving here one morning, and on that train I'm bound

I don't want no trouble, I don't want no fights
But when I'm up against it, I stand up for my rights
I'm a hard working stranger, I'm a stranger here in town
I'm leaving here one morning, and on that train I'm bound
