COME ON IN
(V F Stewart)

as recorded by Patsy Cline
1956


Now come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home!

If I had one wish, I wish I could
Go back to my old neighbourhood
Where the good folks, they all love you as their own.
Then I'd go over to my neighboor's house,
Knock on the door 'n' they'd all sing out,
"Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home!"

I'd sing their praises long and loud,
'Cause they're all my folks and I'm mighty proud
Of the little old town back home where I was born.
I wish that I could hear them say,
In the good old fashioned friendly way,
"Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home!"

Now they don't lock their doors at night,
'Cause they all know they're a-doin' right
And the good Lord's bound to have them for his own.
If I'd go back to hear them pray
In the little pine church, they all would say,
"Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home!"

When I was a child of only three,
I said my prayers at my mother's knee
And I knew right then from God I'd never roam.
When I get my summons on the judgement day,
I hope I can hear my Saviour say,
"Come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home!
Now come on in and sit right down and make yourself at home!"
