Lonesome EJ--

It doesn't appear that New River Train was ever discussed here. Lyrics are at this thread--great old bluegrass...

Guest, EJ:

The Glenn Yarborough song you were trying to think of is called "Doesn't Anybody Know My Name" by, believe it or not, Rod McKuen (well, I like him, but some folks may not). Lyrics may be found here, but I'll put them below as well, since a Forum search doesn't show them in the DT.

DOESN'T ANYBODY KNOW MY NAME
(Rod McKuen)
(© '65 Almo Music)

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
What time the trains roll in
(Two ten, six eighteen, ten forty four)

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
What time the trains roll in
(Two ten, six eighteen, ten forty four).

And Doc Watson does a fine job on "Freight Train Blues." Lyrics for that can be found in this thread.

Wow! great bunch of train songs--Does anyone have the lyrics to Texas 47 (mentioned above)?? And a midi or ABC, maybe?
