Edgar Guest - I See You`ve Travelled SomeEdgar Guest - I See You`ve Travelled Some
Work rating: Low


Wherever you may chance to be — wherever you may roam, Far away in foreign lands; or just at home sweet home; It always gives you pleasure, it makes your heart strings hum     Just to hear     The words of cheer,     "I see you`ve travelled some."     When you get a brother’s greeting, and he takes you by the hand,     It thrills you with a feeling that you cannot understand,     You feel that bond of brotherhood, that tie that’s sure to come     When you hear him say     In a friendly way     "I see you`ve travelled some."     And if you are a stranger, in strange lands all alone     If fate has left you stranded, dead broke and far from home,     Oh, it`s a grand and glorious feeling, it thrills you; makes you numb,     When he says with a grip     Of fellowship,     "I see you`ve travelled some."     And when your final summons comes, to take a last long trip,     Adorned with Lambskin Apron White and gems of fellowship —     The Tiler at the Golden Gate, with Square and Level and Plumb     Will size up your pin     And say "Walk In:     I see you`ve travelled some."
