And I've missed you all the time"
And tell me all about the places you've been
Just sit right there in your easy chair
When I saw your dog waggin' his tail
I'd give anything to have you here with me, I get so lonesome all alone"
Honey why didn't you let me know by mail you've been gone so long"
She said, "Come in stranger and won't you listen to my plea
She said, "Come in stranger, I know you're weary from all the miles
I've watched and I've waited for you to get back
I walk the floor and I watch the door
How long it'll be before you leave again I hope it's a long, long while"
She said, "Come in stranger, oh, how I miss you when you're gone
And when I lie awake and wonder where you can be
She said, "Come in stranger, everything around home is fine
