That he left behind
You find
He did not leave you very much
Not even laughter
Like any dealer
He was watching for the card
That is so high and wild
He'll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
(Cohen's 1967 song, "The Stranger Song," was used in the opening credit sequence of Robert Altman's 1971 movie, McCabe and Mrs. Miller.)
