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 mama has took to bed Now my old
dog Red's gone lame
Please tell me if you can what time do the
trains roll in? Two-ten, six-eighteen
Ten-forty- four
The house is falling down, no use in
hangin' 'round Doesn't anybody know my name? The girl I left behind,
she's gone with a friend of mine I don't have to read a sign to know things
ain't the same
Please tell me if you can what time do the trains
roll in? Two-ten, six-eighteen
Ten-forty-four
Ya can't go far away on just a
soldier's pay Doesn't anybody know my name? Use'ta be when I could see,
everybody wanted me Now nobody comes to see a blind man catch a
train
Please tell me if you can what time do the trains roll
in? Two-ten, six-eighteen Ten-forty-four
