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
 And I missed you all the time

 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
