Hello Stranger Lyrics

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

i need a friend, would you be a friend of mine?

get up rounder, let a working girl lay down

get up rounder, let a working girl lay down

you’re the only good friend that i’ve found in this town

every time i ride the six and fourth street cars

every time i ride the six and fourth street cars

i can see my baby from here behind these bars

well he bowed his head and he waved both hands at me

he bowed his head and waved both hands at me

i’m prison bound and wishing i was free

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

i need a friend, would you be a friend of mine?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
