Lyrics Gillian Welch

Gillian Welch

No One Knows My Name

Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeen

G7

Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeen

And my dad was passin' through doing things a man will do

Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeen

It's a wonder that I'm in this world at all

G7

It's a wonder that I'm in this world at all

And I have a life toclaim though Ireally don't know myname

It's a wonder that I'm in this world at all

Well I had a good mother and dad just the same

G7

Well I had a good mother and dad just the same

And they took me to their rest and they surely stood the test

Yes, I had a good mother and dad just the same

Ain't one soul in the whole world knows my name

G7

Ain't one soul in the whole world knows my name

Just a other baby born to a girl lost and lorn

Ain't one soul in the whole world knows my name

Now and then there's a lonesome thought in my mind

G7

Now and then there's a lonesome thought in my mind

And on thecrowded street I see a strangersface that looks like me

Now and then there's a lonesome thought in my mind

Ain't one soul in the whole world knows my name

G7

Ain't one soul in the whole world knows my name

But I'll see it by and by cause it's written up in the sky

Ain't one soul in the whole world knows my name.
