No One Knows My Name Lyrics
Gillian Welch
Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeen
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
Its a wonder that Im in this world at all
Its a wonder that Im in this world at all
And I have a life to claim though I really dont know my name
Its a wonder that Im in this world at all
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
But its written up in the sky and Ill see it by and by
Aint 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 stayed the test
Well I had a good mother and dad just the same
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
Just another baby born to a girl lost and lorn
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
Now and then theres a lonesome thought in my mind
Now and then theres a lonesome thought in my mind
And on the crowded street I see a strangers face that looks like me
Now and then theres a lonesome thought in my mind
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
But Ill see it by and by cause its written up in the sky
Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
