"Everybody Ought to Treat a Stranger Right" is a gospel blues song recorded in 1930 by Blind Willie Johnson with backing vocals by Willie B. Harris, who may have been his first wife. The song was released in 1930 on Columbia 14597 as B-side to "Go with Me to That Land". The chorus consists of the lines: Everybody should treat a stranger right, long ways from home,Everybody should treat a stranger right, a long way from home. The verses comment on that idea, notably with reference to the Three Wise Men offering gifts to the Christ-child in the manger.
