I've been away so long
Fought a war that's come and gone
Doesn't anybody know my name
My sister's up and went
My momma's took to bed
Now my old dog Rex gone away
Please tell me if you can
What time do the trains roll in
2:10, 6:18, 10:44
The hedge's turnin' brown
The house is fallin' down
Doesn't anybody know my name
The girl I left behind
Has gone to Caroline
I don't have to read a sign to know things ain't the same
Please tell me if you can
What time do the trains roll in
2:10, 6:18, 10:44
You can't go far away
On just a soldier's pay
Doesn't anybody know my name
Used to be when I could see
Everybody wanted me
Now nobody comes to see a blind man take a train
Please tell me if you can
What time do the trains roll in
2:10, 6:18, 10:44
