1855 a long time ago
A D
a little boy stands wai ting all alone
G
by the train tracks outside the railroad depot
A D
and nobody knew what his name was
G
well he climbed up inside of the very next train
A D
and the people asked him, ?lonely boy what?s your name??
G
but he was too sick to talk so he could not explain
A D
so nobody knew what his name was
G
well all the people cared for him and stayed by his side
A D
and the boys health grew weaker as the hours passed by
G
and in his seat on that train car the little boy died
A D
and nobody knew what his name was
G
in South Carolina the train stops still
A D
and they carried him off in Graniteville
G
they made a grave and buried him up on the hill
A D
still nobody knew what his name was

D G
to this day his grave?s kept clean and covered with toys
A D
with hopes that he?ll have some thing to enjoy
G A D
and his headstone still simple reads ?The Little Boy??cause nobody knew what his name was
D G
well some nights at midnight a light shines on his grave
A D
or so I?ve heard the townspeople say
D G
and some say they?ve even seen him come out to play
A D
but still nobody knows what his name was
