Pure Bluegrass harmonies from the Stanley Brothers:
Via RightWingBob (yes, Dylan recorded the song on his Down in the Groove album). It's from 1966, according to a YouTube commenter, which would make it just before the early death of brother Carter, the guitar player. Ralph, the banjo player, is still alive and going strong.at 82.
I wandered again
To my home in the mountains
Where in youth’s early dawn
I was happy and free.
I looked for my friends,
But I never could find ‘em.
I found they were all
Rank strangers to me.
Everybody I met
Seemed to be a rank stranger;
No mother or dad,
Not a friend could I see.
They knew not my name
And I knew not their faces
I found they were all
Rank strangers to me.
“They’ve all moved away,”
Said the voice of a stranger,
“To that beautiful shore
By the bright crystal sea.”
Some beautiful day
I’ll meet ‘em in Heaven
Where no one will be
A stranger to me.
