Intro

 

Verse 1

She said, "Come in, stranger
It's good to have you home
I hurried through 'cause I knew it was you
When I saw your dog wagging his tail
Honey, why didn't you let me know by mail?
You've been gone so long"

Verse 2

She said, "Come in, stranger
I know you're weary from all the 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"

Verse 3

She said, "Come in, stranger
Everything around home is fine
I've watched and I've waited for you to get back
And I missed you all the time"

Verse 4

She said, "Come in, stranger
Oh, how I miss you when you're gone
I walk the floor and I watch the door
And when I lay awake and wonder where you could be
I'd give anything to have you here with me
I get so lonesome all alone"

Verse 5

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"
