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...



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...
