I Heard That Lonesome Whistle |
| 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 |
