No One Knows My Name

When my mother was just a girl of seventeen
Oh my mother was just a girl of seventeen
And my Dad was passin' through
Doin' things a man will do
And my mother was just a girl of 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 had 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 a crowded street I see
A stranger's 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
