Doesn’t Anybody Know My Name

I've been away so long
Fought a war that's come and gone
Doesn't anybody know my name?
My sister's up and wed
My Momma's took to bed
Now 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

The hedge is turning brown
The house is falling down
Doesn't anybody know my name?
The girl I left behind
She's run off to Carolin'
I don't have to read a sign
To know that 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 go far away
On just a soldier's pay
Doesn't anybody know my name?
Used to be when I could see
Everybody wanted me
Now nobody comes to see
The blind man catch a train

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in?
Two-ten, six-eighteen, ten-forty-four
