I See You've Travelled Some

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."
