Total Stranger

I figured it's how he had help me out
Down at the swimming hole
Up stepped the old game warden
“He's just a total stranger
As he opened wide the door
And honky tonk around
Just a standin' on the floor
Well, I'd court her on the sly
An old man now by trade
I was sort of short on cash
That we've ever met at all?"
I hate to be so bold
We'd taken all the nightclubs
Are you absolutely certain
Who really caught my eye
The laws they do ignore

I really ought to tell you
Like this total stranger

She must have smelled a rat

Now I'd like to ask a favor
Who came in off the streets
"I'd really like to help you out”
I can't seem to recall
I knew that I was dead
The place is kinda crowded
Shoot those birds out of the sky”
So I went to see my life long friend
“So long total stranger
She's just a total stranger

And really do the town

The birds are really flyin'

If you can see your way
And my bills were way behind

But remember when I saved your life
Well, there we were all cuddled up

Then said, “I supposed
I'd like to have a little loan”
That the huntin' season's closed”
“She's just a total stranger
I saw this total stranger
So I offered her a seat"
And when the wife was out of town
He took the gun, shelled some birds
But before my wife could say a word
And I was passing by
And he ducked behind a tree
“Excuse me total stranger

But then one night my wife came home
Before I had a chance to talk
My friend said let's go huntin'
I jumped right up and said

I've got the gun and chills
He killed a half a dozen
Now once I had a girlfriend
That I've never seen before”
"Now, I couldn't leave this lady
“It's a shame the way some people
That I've never seen before”
And gave them all to me

I said, “Old pal, I need your help
I heard my friend declare
Join at all the parties
And found me standing there

And I think we'll do quite well
With his fortune he had made
And found where I was at
She looked around from place to place
And then I heard him say
About that time he heard a noise
