No One Knows My Name Lyrics

Artist: Gillian Welch
Album: Soul Journey

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
