E
she said , “come in stranger ,
B7 E
it’s good to have you home .
A E
i hurried through ’cause i knew it was you
B7 E
when i saw your dog waggin’ his tail .
A E
honey , why didn’t you let me know by mail?
F#7 B7
you’ve been gone so long . ”

E
she said , “come in stranger .
B7 E
i know you’re weary from all the miles .
A E
just sit right there in your easy chair ,
B7 E
and tell me all about the places you’ve been .
A E
how long it’ll be before you leave again;
F#7 B7
i hope it’s a long , long while . ”
E
she said , “come in stranger ,
B7 E
ev’rything around home is fine .
A E
i’ve watched and i’ve waited for you to get back
B7 E
and i missed you all the time . ”

E
she said , “come in stranger ,
B7 E
oh , how i miss you when you’re gone .
A E
i walk the floor and i watch the door ,
B7 E
and when i lie awake and wonder where you could be ,
A E
i’d give anything to have you here with me
F#7 B7
i get so lonesome all alone . ”
E
she said , “come in stranger ,
B7 E
and won’t you listen to my plea?
A E
stay long enough so that the one i love
B7 E
is not a stranger to me” .
