She said: "Come in stranger, it's good to have you home.



C7 F                    C

I hurried thru 'cause I knew it was you, 

    

      Dm        G7   C

when I saw your dog, waggin' his tail.



F                            C

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



  D7                       G7

You've been gone so long"

      

         C                                 F6           G7     C

She said: "Come in stranger, I know you're weary from all your miles.



C7   F                       C

Just sit right there in your easy chair,



    F6            G7      C

and tell me all about the places you've been,



    F                        C

how long it'll be before you leave again.



  D7                              G7

I hope it's a long, long while."



         C         C              G7                   C

She said: "Come in stranger, everything 'round home is fine.



C7   F                           C

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



      G7                 C

and I missed you all the time."





2. 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.
