Gillian Welch - No One Knows My Name Lyrics
Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeenOh my mother was just a girl, seventeenAnd my dad was passin through doing things a man will doOh my mother was just a girl, seventeenIts a wonder that Im in this world at allIts a wonder that Im in this world at allAnd I have a life to claim though I really dont know my nameIts a wonder that Im in this world at allAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameBut its written up in the sky and Ill see it by and byAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameWell I had a good mother and dad just the sameWell I had a good mother and dad just the sameAnd they took me to their rest and they surely stayed the testWell I had a good mother and dad just the sameAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameJust another baby born to a girl lost and lornAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameNow and then theres a lonesome thought in my mindNow and then theres a lonesome thought in my mindAnd on the crowded street I see a strangers face that looks like meNow and then theres a lonesome thought in my mindAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameAint one soul in the whole world knows my nameBut Ill see it by and by cause its written up in the skyAint one soul in the whole world knows my name
