No One Knows My Name

Lyrics

Oh my mother was just a girl of seventeen
 Oh my mother was just a girl of seventeen
 And my dad was passing through
 Doing things a man will do
 When my mother was just a girl of 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 breast
 And they surely stood the test
 Well I had a good mother and dad just the same
 But 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
 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
 That 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
