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...      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...
