(17 posts)I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me
Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
Now they've all moved away said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home by a bright crystal sea
And some day I'll meet them all up in Heaven
Where no one will be a rank stranger to me.
Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.
Bob Dylan
"Bluegrass music, It's kinda like not being embarrassed when you dance
From my Brothers obituary, A true Ralph Stanley Fan.
Bluegrass is the Soul of American Roots music. RIP Ralph
