Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeen
|
Oh my mother was just a girl, seventeen
|
And my dad was passin’ through doing things a man will do
|
Oh my mother was just a girl, 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
|
|
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
|
And on the crowded street I see a strangers face that looks like me
|
Now and then there’s a lonesome thought in my mind
|
|
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
|
