An Albert E. Brumley song best known from the Stanley Brothers.
The words
A man returns to his home place and finds no one there who knows him.
In this Albert E. Brumley song, best known from the Stanley Brothers, a man returns to the place where he grew up hoping to find old friends. Everyone he meets is a stranger, and he slowly realizes that the people he knew are gone. In the end he takes comfort in the hope of meeting them again in a life beyond this one. Dylan sings it slowly and simply, letting the loneliness of the story carry it.
