Doesn't Anybody Know My Name

I've been away for so long

Fought a war that's come and gone

Doesn't anybody know my name?

My sister upped and wed

Mom was sick and took to bed

And my old dog Red's gone lame.

Please tell me if you can

What time the trains roll in?

(Two-ten, six-eighteen) ten-forty-four.

This old house is falling down

There ain't no need in me for hanging round

Doesn't anybody know my name?

The girl I left behind

She's gone with this friend of mine

I don't have to see a sign

To know things ain't the same.

Please tell me if you can

What time the trains roll in?

(Two-ten, six-eighteen) ten-forty-four.

You can't get far away

On just a soldier's pay

Doesn't anybody know my name?

Used to be when I could see

Everybody wanted me

Guess nobody cares to see

A blind man catch a train.

Please tell me if you can

What time the trains roll in?

(Two-ten, six-eighteen) ten-forty-four...
