I've been away so long
Fought a war that's come and gone
Doesn't anybody know my name?
(Doesn't anybody knows his name?)
My sister's up and wed
And mama's took to bed
Doesn't anybody know my name?

Please tell me if you can
What time do the trains roll in?
Two-ten, six-eighteen, ten forty-four.

The hedge is turnin' brown
And the fence is fallin' down
Doesn't anybody know my name?
(Doesn't anybody knows his name?)
The girl I left behind
Has gone to Carolin'
Doesn't anybody know my name?

Please tell me if you can
What time do the trains roll in?
Two-ten, six-eighteen, ten forty-four.

Fought that war across the sea
I almost died to keep us free
Doesn't anybody know my name?
(Doesn't anybody know his name?)
Now, I'm home and no one cares
Seems the troubles are only theirs
Doesn't anybody know my name?

Please tell me if you can
What time do the trains roll in?
Two-ten, six-eighteen, ten forty-four.

Doesn't anybody know my name?
