Lyrics Peter, Paul and Mary

Peter, Paul and Mary

Whatshername

Jimmy McGregor, hey, Jimmy, come here!

Jimmy you son of a gun!

What 'cha been doin'? How long has it been?

Hell, seven years if it's been one.

How's the preacher? How's Don, did he go back to school?

(No kidding, I thought he was gay!)

Who me? Oh, I'm great! I'm a father you know.

Yeah, two of 'em and one on the way.

Oh, well, she couldn't make it, she gets pretty tired,

She started her last month today.

I only came up for a couple of minutes,

Believe me, I wish I could stay.

Oh, and yeah while I think of it, do you remember,

Not for myself, for a friend.

A girl that I brought here, before I got married

A couple of times at the end.

What'shername? She hardly knew me;

Now her name means something to me.

I wonder if she ever got over me?

Anyway I should be flattered

For yesterday at least I mattered

Where did it go?

Jimmy I tell you we're two lucky guys

You've got everything that you've planned.

And all things considered I've done fairly well

I mean God's honest truth, man

I love Ruth and what'shername?

I thought I knew her, what'shername?

What happened to her,

I don't know why I'll never forget

What'shername?
