Come In Stranger
(Johnny Cash)

She said, come in stranger
It's good to have you home
I hurried through 'cause I knew it was you
When I saw your dog wagging 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 the mire
Just sit right there in your easy chair
And tell me all about the places you've been
How long will it be before you leave again
I hope it's a long long while

She said, come in stranger
Everything about 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
For I miss you when you're gone
I'd give everything to have you here with me
I get so lonesome when you're gone

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
