When a Soldier Knocks and Finds Nobody Home Songtext
von Ernest Tubb

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 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′ve 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

When I sailed across the blue, I thought I could count on you
But I′ve come back home sweetheart to find you've 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
