Nobody Knows His Name
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Nobody knows his name
Starting it over is never the same
Nobody knows his name
They just might someday...
Pullin' up stakes 1893
County Cork in Ireland way across the sea
Future made of dreams, wishes and a prayer
Knowing soon the one he loves will join him there
Over and over now he dreams of his bride to be
Over and over he prays that the life they find is what he hoped it would be.
Through the good and bad he stayed to make a stand
Things are never easy in a virgin land
Gettin' every day proud as he can be
Caring and providing for his family
Year after year he works to give them everything he can
Year after year he works so he'll never have to be someone else's man.
Nobody knows his name
Starting it over is never the same
Nobody knows his name
They just might someday...
