Lyrics
Hear Me Knocking
Master, there?s someone knocking
he?s knocking at the door
he says he wants to see you
he just won?t say what for
he just keeps on knocking
he pounds and pounds away
he was pounding though the night
he was pounding though the day
He?s just some jerk I?ve never seen
his clothes don?t look too hip
he?s got a staring eye
no smile on his lip
he says ?hear me knocking?
Master, I hear him calling
calling out your name
he don?t know no manners
he don?t know no shame
he acts just like he knows you
I?ve never seen him here
I?ll just tell him to go away
you want another beer?
He?s just some jerk I?ve never seen
his clothes don?t look too hip
he?s got a staring eye
no smile on his lip
he says ?hear me knocking?
Master he says he wants you
he says that you must come
I think I hear a trumpet
I think I hear a drum
I think I see you going
master, I think you?re gone
I hear a lonesome serenade inside that ancient song
