(from "The Songs of Johnny Cash")
G7 C F6 G7 C
She said: "Come in stranger, it's good to have you home.
C7 F C
I hurried thru 'cause I knew it was you,
Dm G7 C
when I saw your dog, waggin' his tail.
F C
Honey, why didn't you let me know by mail?
D7 G7
You've been gone so long"
C F6 G7 C
She said: "Come in stranger, I know you're weary from all your miles.
C7 F C
Just sit right there in your easy chair,
F6 G7 C
and tell me all about the places you've been,
F C
how long it'll be before you leave again.
D7 G7
I hope it's a long, long while."
C C G7 C
She said: "Come in stranger, everything 'round home is fine.
C7 F C
I've watched and I've waited for you to get back,
G7 C
and I missed you all the time."
2. 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.
