and tell me all about the places you've been,

how long it'll be before you leave again.

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.
