Me and Mary rode on in
Carrying the liquor down
Some of the faces we had seen
Were the strangest ones around
They had no sense of humour then
And they had no sense of home
Mary and I both couldn't recall
When we last felt so alone
Ollie Samland
Most of the men looked half asleep
With their poor tormented backs
Hiding in the brush and the backstreets
Smoking rockabilly crack
Yet no one seemed to want to get out of there
They we're taking it round after round
An old man struck a bible song
But his mouth couldn't make no sound
Bernd Zeigert
And we sang oh Mama
Take a little weight from me
Oh Mama, all about this Strange Country
Sven Fritz
Two more nights and one more day
We we're entering another town
Yawning and yearning for the night to fall
But the sun just kept going down
Down and down and down it went
But the night couldn't seem to arrive
We were so tired but they had no beds
And the streets all buzzed with life
Markus Geiger
They led us all around the place
All the houses looked the same
Friendly smiles for miles and miles
We couldn't keep track of the names
Then Mary fell asleep in my arm
With a whisper and a hollow sound
I shook some hands and they patted my back
Someone passed the powder round
Ben Holzapfel
And we sang oh Mama
Mama are you there for me
Oh Mama, all about this Strange Country
