              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".
