Two-ten Six-eighteen Lyrics

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
