    Em D G

     

    It’s a wonder that I’m in this world at all

    It’s a wonder that I’m in this world at all

    And I have a life to claim though I really don’t know my name

    It’s a wonder that I’m in this world at all

     

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    But it’s written up in the sky and I’ll see it by and by

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    G C Em D G

    Well I had a good mother and dad just the same

    Well I had a good mother and dad just the same

    And they took me to their rest and they surely stayed the test

    Well I had a good mother and dad just the same

     

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    Just another baby born to a girl lost and lorn

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    G C Em D G

    Instrumental

     

    Now and then there’s a lonesome thought in my mind

    Now and then there’s a lonesome thought in my mind

    And on the crowded street I see a strangers face that looks like me

    Now and then there’s a lonesome thought in my mind

     

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name

    But I’ll see it by and by cause it’s written up in the sky

    Ain’t one soul in the whole world knows my name
