WHEN A SOLDIER KNOCKS AND FINDS NOBODY HOME
(Ernest Tubb / Moon Mullican / Lou Wayne)

Ernest Tubb - 1956

Also recorded by: Moon Mullican & the Showboys


I’m alone with all my sorrow
It’s so hard to face tomorrow
Cause I knocked and no one met me at the door

I have asked the next door neighbor
What you’ve packed and went away for
But they only say; You don’t live here no more

When I sailed across the blue
I thought I could count on you
But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

It’s a shame you couldn’t be here
What a sorry sight to see here
When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home

Ah do it pretty Billy
INSTRUMENTALS

When I sailed across the blue
I thought I could count on you
But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

It’s a shame you couldn’t be here
What a sorry sight to see here
When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home
