He's gonna knock
Three times
At my back door
He's gonna knock
Three times
At my back door
And I know
That it's him
Won't you please come in
Oh welcome in
The Refugee
Good evening
How do you do
Good evening

And I know
You need a rest
Won't you be my guest
Oh welcome be
The Refugee
Oh Mama

Oh Mama
Whatcha gonna
Cook for supper
Make it good
Make it square

Welcome be
The Refugee
Oh brother

Ask in vain
Oh brother
You ain't gonna
Ask in vain
Cause I know
You're alone
Won't you feel at home
Oh welcome be
The Refugee
