Hello. I was wondering if somebody could post the lyrics to a
(country?) song that starts with the words "Somebody's knocking, who
could it be, ..."? Also, what's the name of the singer of this song?
Thank you!

I think I remember something like:

Somebody's knocking
Should I let him in
Lord it's the devil
Won't you look at him

Then something about him in blue jeans.

I think I have it on 45. If you don't get any info please let me know
and I will dig it out and try to transcribe the lyrics for you.

Josh

It is country and by a woman, but that is all I remember. Call a local
radio station for help.

The answer is ...


"Somebody's Knockin'" by Terri Gibbs, blind country singer who scored a top 10
hit with this in 1981. Her career never really went much beyond that.

The song is available on ...

Various Artists - Radio Daze: Pop Hits Of The 80s, Vol. 5

plus the origibal album (which is quite good) if you can locate that on vinyl.

Could you be thinking of a song that goes

Somebody's knockin' at my door
Who could it be
Tip toe accross the floor
If he hears he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped
And here I'll have to stay
I mean no harm I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my
State of mental health

Who could it be now (etc)

If this is it then it's Men at Work

The singer's first name is "Terry" but I don't remember the last name.
Guess that doesn't help too much.

"I'd heard about him...
but I never dreamed.
He'd have blue eyes and blue jeans"

Then she says something like:
"He must have tapped my telephone line
He must have known I was spending my time
Alone"

It is by Terri Gibbs.

Fernando, I'm usually much better at this but I couldn't find
the lyrics anywhere. I think you're talking about a song that goes:

Somebody's knocking
should I let 'em in?


Lord it's the devil

and would you look at him.
I've heard about him but I never dreamed
he'd have blue eyes and blue jeans...

If so, I can hear a name like Terry Crawford maybe and the
title of "Somebody's Knockin'" for sure.

I wish I could offer more, but this may help your search.

Cheers,

Tiny Dancer

I have since had a revelation and believe the singer to be one
Terri Gibbs....possibly.

If you're looking for the country song "Somebody's knocking..." it's by a
female artist and starts out, "Somebody's knocking, should I let him in?
Lord it's the devil,and wuold you look at him" I think Terry someone
sang it...

It can't be "Let'em In". It goes like:
"Somebody's knocking at the door, somebody's ringing the bell ..
do me a favour, open the door, and let'em in..."
It doesn't sing "who could it be?" ....
later

There is another song that starts off:

SOMEBODY'S KNOCKING
SHOULD I LET THEM IN
LORD, IT'S THE DEVIL
WOULD YOU LOOK AT HIM

I think the singers name is Jennifer Warner (or Warnes)

First of all, thank you very much to EVERYONE who responded to my
original inquiry (including Jess Lem who sent a reply via e-mail). I
had no idea there was another song that started with the same words;
so the confusion is understandable and all responses, quite relevant.
The song I was looking for is the one described below, by Terri Gibbs.
Anyway, Josh, I'll accept your offer on the lyrics, but ONLY if it is
not a great incovenience. At least, with a name now, I can locate the
recording. Thanks again.
