Come in Stranger

She said come in stranger

It's good to have you home

I hurried thru 'cause I knew it was you

When I saw your dog, waggin' his tail

Honey, why didn't you let me know by mail

You've been gone so long

She said come in stranger

I know you're weary from all your miles

Just sit right there in your easy chair

And tell me all about the places you've been

How long it'll be before you leave again

I hope it's a long, long while

She said come in stranger

Everything 'round home is fine

I've watched and I've waited for you to get back

And I missed you all the time

She said come in, stranger

Oh how I need you when you're gone

I walk the floor and I watch the door

And when I lie awake and wonder where you can be

I'd give anything to have you here with me

I get so lonesome all alone

She said come in, stranger

And won't you listen to my plea

Stay long enough, so that the one I love

Is not a stranger to me
