I've been away, so long
Fought a war that's been and gone
Doesn't anybody know my name

My sisters up and went
Mama's sick and she 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

The old house is falling down
Ain't no use in me hanging 'round
Doesn't anybody know my name

The girl I left behind
She's gone with a friend of mine
And I don't have to read the sign
To know thing's ain't the same

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in
Two ten, six eighteen
Ten forty four

You can get far away
On just a soldiers 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 the trains roll in
Two ten, six eighteen
Ten forty four

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in
Two ten, six eighteen
Ten forty four

Please tell me if you can
What time the trains roll in.....
