1855, [G] a long time ago, [A] a little boy stands [D] waiting all alone by the train tracks outside
[G] of the railroad depot, [A] and nobody knew [D] what his name was.
Well he climbed up inside [G] of the very next train, [A] and the people asked him, [D] lonely boy,
what's your name?
But he was too sick to talk, [G] so he could not explain, [A] so nobody knew what [D] his name was.
All the people cared for him, [G] stayed by his side, [A] and the boy's health grew weaker [D] as
the hours passed by, and in his seat on that train car, [G] the little boy died.
[A] And nobody knew what [D] his name was.
In South Carolina, [G] the train stopped still, and [A] they carried him off [D] in Granite Field.
They made a grave and buried [G] him up on the hill, [A] still nobody knew [D] what his name was.

To this day, his grave's kept clean [G] and covered with toys, [A] with hopes that he'll have [D] something
to enjoy, and his headstone still simply [G] reads, The Little Boy, [A] but nobody knew what [D] his name was.
Well, some nights at midnight, a [G] light shines on his grave, [A] or so I've heard.
[D] The townspeople say, and some say they've even seen [G] him come out to play, but [A] still
nobody knows what [D] his name was.
