Havent seen this song mentioned or ever heard anyone else sing it. Jeff (JD Hawk) would go out on Royal street, New Orleans (Circa Mardi Gras/spring 1975) thrown down his cowboy hat and sing this song and soon get a good sized crowd. Been wondering what happened to Jeff since then (43 yrs ago!):

Lonesome Strangers Blues
Jeff (JD Hawk)

Won't you help me down the highway I can’t make it anymore
My aching head is tired and my feet are sore
I slept out by the highway, last night in the pouring rain
And this western wind has left me a stranger on the road

CHORUS
And I guess Ill always be a stranger
And I’ll just be some old lonesome fool, thumbing through.
But I could fill your ears with a song to fill the tears
Of every other lonesome strangers blues

Way up on a mountain, I met a Carolina girl
And the way we loved, we rocked the whole damn world
But our love to soon grew cold and those mountain towns get old
And that western wind has left me a stranger on the road

The folks I used to play with, they’ve all gone here and there,
But it sure was good to have those songs to play.
Then our stories all got told and those country songs get old
And that western wind has left me a stranger on the road.

(Jeff also wrote alot of other songs, "Orgy in Missoula" comes to mind.)
