Hats Off (to The Stranger) Lyrics

Hats Off (to The Stranger) lyrics

Walkin' down by the river

Hangin' down my head

I chanced to stop for a
moment

A stranger beckoned and then he said:



"Walk down the road
of life, a-happy as can be

But not so happy, yeah, that you can't
see

Be very careful, mm-hmm, everywhere you go

Take it very
slow"



Hats off to the stranger

For tellin' me what he knows

I
said, Lord, I here ya

And I'm walkin' slow

Just a singin' Hallelujah,
Hallelujah

Let a little sunshine down on me

Make this feelin'
grow-ow-ow-ow



Walkin' down by the river

His words warmin' up my
soul

He called to me from the other side:

"There's one more thing ya
gotta know, yeah"



"Nobody's perfect, boy, not me or you

It doesn't
matter what you say or do

But you could be singin', yeah, a better
tune

Singin' whoa-oh-oh"



------ brief instrumental break
------



"Yeah, all the things that I have said

You've probably
heard them all before

But the way that you'll hear them from me

Is like
you never heard them before"



Hats off to the stranger

For tellin'
me what he knows

I said, Lord, I here ya

And I'm walkin' slow,
yeah

Hats off to the stranger

For tellin' me what he knows

I said,
Lord, I here ya

And I'm walkin' slow

Yeah, I said

Hats off to the
stranger

For tellin' me what he knows

I said, Lord, I here ya

And
I'm walkin' slow

Just a singin' Hallelujah, oh yeah, Hallelujah

Let a
little sunshine down on me

Make this feelin' grow

A little
louder

Hallelujah, sing it out loud, Hallelujah

Let a little sunshine
down on me

Make this feelin' grow
