Jennings, Waylon - Doesn't Anybody Know My Name Lyrics






I've been away for so long
Fought a war that's come and gone
Doesn't anybody know my name?
My sister upped and wed
Mom was sick and took to bed
And my old dog Red's gone lame.

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

This old house is falling down
There ain't no need in me for hanging round
Doesn't anybody know my name?
The girl I left behind
She's gone with this friend of mine
I don't have to see a sign
To know things ain't the same.

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

You can't get far away
On just a soldier's pay
Doesn't anybody know my name?
Used to be when I could see
Everybody wanted me
Guess nobody cares to see
A blind man catch a train.

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

    Was always familiar with the Kingston Trio version and was always a favorite. Waylon does one heck of a job on this one. Love the background singers on this one too. Great production and excellent writing by Rod McKuen.

    Harry Conlon of Big Tom and the Travellers used to do a fine version of this song on the many great nights when playing in joe Oneills Sound of Music Ballroom Glenamaddy...and indeed everywhere else too. Great memories...

  10. s.... ....

    No disrespect to Waylon Jennings, but Rod Mckuen wrote the song, and in my opinion his is the best, most touching ballad I've ever heard. What seemed like a hundred years ago, my high school English teacher was trying to teach the concept of pathos-suffering, in a dramatic sense. After listening to Mckuen's version of this song, I understand what she was trying for.
