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



Its a wonder that Im in this world at all

Its a wonder that Im in this world at all

And I have a life to claim though I really dont know my name

Its a wonder that Im in this world at all



Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name

Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name

But its written up in the sky and Ill see it by and by

Aint 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 rest and they surely stayed the test

Well I had a good mother and dad just the same



Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name

Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name

Just another baby born to a girl lost and lorn

Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name



Now and then theres a lonesome thought in my mind

Now and then theres a lonesome thought in my mind

And on the crowded street I see a strangers face that looks like me

Now and then theres a lonesome thought in my mind



Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name

Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name

But Ill see it by and by cause its written up in the sky

Aint one soul in the whole world knows my name
