Johnny cash come in stranger lyrics

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 

 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
