a phrase from a version of Lakes of Pontchartrain...

any other songs about welcoming guests and strangers?

(Woody: Pretty Boy Floyd, the outlaw stranger who left a hundred
dollar bill... Something from John Tams' The Reckoning, was it the first track??)

Or maybe this thread will be a welcome mat for visitors?

"Y'all Come" is a nice, friendly song..

A welcome mat for visitors sounds like a lovely idea!

Warning: These words are far from accurate..but will do a fair job of giving you the flavor..


When you live in the country
everybody is your neighbor
on this fact you can rely
they'll be right there to greet you
they'll be right there to meet you
saying "Y'all come and see us bye-and-bye"

Y'all come
Y'all come
Oh y'all come to see us now and then
Y'all come
Y'all come
Oh y'all come to see us when you can
