I See You've Traveled Some

I SEE YOUVE TRAVELED SOME

WHEREVER  YOU MAY CHANCE TO BE;

WHEREVER YOU MAY ROAM,

FAR AWAY IN FOREIGN LANDS,

OR JUST AT HOME, A SWEET HOME,

IT ALWAYS GIVES YOU PLEASURE,

IT MAKES YOUR HEARTSTRINGS HUM

JUST TO HEAR THE WORDS OF CHEER:

I SEE YOUVE TRAVELED SOME

WHEN YOU GET  THE BROTHERS GREETING,

AS HE TAKES YOU BY THE HAND,

IT THRILLS YOU WITH A FEELING

THAT YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND;

YOU FEEL THAT BOND OF BROTHERHOOD,

THAT AID THATS SURE TO COME

WHEN YOU HEAR HIM SAY IN A FRIENDLY WAY,

I SEE YOUVE TRAVELED 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, ITS A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING

IT THRILLS YOU; MAKES YOU NUMB...

WHEN HE SAYS WITH A GRIP OF FELLOWSHIP:

I SEE YOUVE TRAVELED SOME

AND WHEN YOUR FINAL SUMMONS COMES,

TO MAKE THAT LAST LONG TRIP,

ADORNED WITH LAMBSKIN APRON WHITE

AND GEMS OF FELLOWSHIP,

THE TYLER AT THE GOLDEN GATE,

WITH SQUARE AND RULE AND PLUM

WILL SIZE UP YOUR PIN, AND SAY:

WALK IN; I SEE YOU TRAVELED SOME
