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 wed and mama`s took to bed. Doesn`t anybody know my name?
Chorus:
Please tell me, if you can. What time do the trains roll in? Two-ten, six-eighteen, ten forty-four.
The hedge is turning brown and the fence is falling down. Doesn`t anybody know my name?
The girl I left behind has gone to Caroline. Doesn`t anybody know my name?
(Chorus)
Fought that war across the sea. Almost died to keep us free. Doesn`t anybody know my name?
Now I`m home and no one cares. Seems that trouble`s are only theirs. Doesn`t anybody know my name?
