| Oh, my mother was just a girl, seventeen
|
| Oh, my mother was just a girl, seventeen
|
| And my dad was passing through
|
| Doing things a man will do And my mother was just a girl, seventeen
|
| It’s a wonder that I’m in this world at all
|
| It’s a wonder that I’m in this world at all
|
| And I have a life to claim
|
| Though I really don’t know my name
|
| It’s a wonder that I’m in this world at all
|
| Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
|
| Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
|
| But it’s written up in the sky
|
| And I’ll see it by and by Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
|
| Well, I had a good mother and dad just the same
|
| 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, the same
|
| Well, there ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
|
| Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
|
| Just another 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
|
| Now and then, there’s a lonesome thought in my mind
|
| And on the crowded street I see
|
| A stranger’s face that looks like me Now and then, there’s a lonesome thought in my mind
|
| Well, there ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
|
| 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 |
