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
