Let Me In

Let me in, I hear laughter, ha-ha
Let me in, open up the door
Let me in, I hear music, tra-la
I don't wanna weep no more

Please open the door to a stranger
Who's weary of trouble and strife
I'll ring you a song on my banjo
And tell you the tears of my life

Let me in, I hear laughter, ha-ha
Let me in, open up the door
Let me in, I hear music, tra-la
I don't wanna weep no more

He has many dear friends in St. Louis
And many dear friends in St. Paul
As soon as their sheriff forgives him
He hopes to be back with them all

Let me in, I hear laughter, ha-ha
Let me in, open up the door
Let me in, I hear music, tra-la
I don't wanna weep no more

I wooed three young maids through the valley
Up mountains and 'round every tree
But I never tasted their kisses
'Cause they could run faster than me

Let me in, I hear laughter, ha-ha
Let me in, open up the door
Let me in, I hear music, tra-la
I don't wanna weep no more

Oh, mother, how you tried to warn me
Oh, mother, you said not to roam
How true are the words that you told me
Oh, mother, I'm longin' for home

Let me in, I hear laughter, ha-ha
Let me in, open up the door
Let me in, I hear music, tra-la
I don't wanna weep no more

I don't wanna weep no more
