lyrics

He visits, and drives the long hours to his home
I call him to tell him that he is not alone
Though I'm travelin round, and I, I gotta go
I call him to tell him that he is not alone

We rarely see face to face, and then not eye to eye
But for when we're arm in arm I won't say goodbye
Though I'm miles away and I won't say where I'm going
I call him to tell him that he is not alone

No he's not alone, he's the one who holds my heart
I'm sorry I make him worry, but I got to play my part
He clocks his hours with friends and family
Maybe the only one alone, is me.

He wants to take me to be his one and only bride
I can't spend my lifetime settled down, inside
His eyes hold the sweetest love I've known
So I call him to tell him that he is not alone

No he's not alone, he's the one who holds my heart
I'm sorry I make him worry, but I've got to play my part
He clocks his hours with friends and family
Maybe the only one alone, is me.

He clocks his hours with friends and family
Maybe the only one alone, is me.

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music. This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall

the aluminum wonder
by Joseph Decosimo

supported by 6 fans who also own “He's Not Alone”

This rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott
