He's Alone Again Tonight

Porter Wagoner · The Rubber Room (Omni) [2006]

I know a man that lives all alone

He must not have a friend in the world

For each night I hear him a-walkin' the floor

As he calls out the name of a girl.



He's alone again tonight

I can hear him a-walkin' the floor

As he swears at the rain and cusses the pain

He's alone again, tonight.



His room never shows no sign of life

His door stays locked and his window blinds tied

I've knocked on his door but he just get quiet

He's alone again, tonight.



He looks in his mailbox just stands and cries

It always stays empty not a letter inside

Surely it looks like his kinfolks could write

But they don't he's alone, tonight.



He's alone again tonight

I can hear him a-walkin' the floor

As he swears at the rain and cusses the pain

He's alone again, tonight.



He must be the world's most lonesome man

Forsaken by love and all of his friends

I guess when love left him it took all his pride

And he's ashamed to be seen alone at night.



He's alone again tonight

I can hear him a-walkin' the floor

As he swears at the rain and cusses the pain

He's alone again, tonight...
