IT'S not because l do not feel as friendly a.

She left me. But thsre, sit you down, and
i will tell YOU why.
You sec, when she was here-it's now some
fifty years ago
Since l first brought her homs-how glad
and proud I was that dayi-
I never went abroad but that ns sure as faith,
I'd know I4
She was keepln' lovin' count Of AL the
hours I stayed away.
And when the gato-latch clicked, and she
again my footsteps heard,
Wide open would the houBe-door fy. and
her bright face appear;
And in a voice as sweet to me as song of any
bird, .
With smiling lips and smiling eyes, she'd
say, You're welcome, dear
You know our sons ave sailors been since
they were naught but boys,
And that our only. daughter when a child
was called above,
And 20 we two were left 10 share each others
griefs and Joys,
And we loved each other, naighbor, with a
good, old-fashioned love.
And think a moment neighbor, how very
sad 'tWould be ....-
To come back from a outin'-how my
poor old heart would paini
And find the house-door shut, and no dear
wife awaitin' me;
'Twould hurt almost as much as though ]
saw her die again
Give over ~coaxin', neighbor, for nowyou I'M
derstnnd
I'll leave my home no more until Pm sum
moned where I'll hear,
At heavens door wide -opened-sheTl DO there

And smiling lips and smiling eyes-her
say, You're welcome. dear.
