User-Contributed Transcription 6 If kinds of friends come, or strangers passing, They ring, & wait, & ring again; Then go away, but not a regressing, For they have tried & can't get in.7 And when we go to seek a blessing, Where christians weekly meet to pray; A father from his place is missing, O; how we wish he would not stay.8 When sunday comes, some strangers preaching We cannot hear our father pray; And we have no kind mother's teaching, We sigh to think she's far away.9 Dear parents, will you, can you leave us, Do, all this winter with us stay; O; soon again you must not greave us, By going from "home, sweet home" away.A.
