D MajorD   G+G
1855 a long time ago
 A augmentedA           D MajorD
a little boy stands wai ting all alone
                 G+G
by the train tracks outside the railroad depot
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
and nobody knew what his name was

                 G+G
well he climbed up inside of the very next train
    A augmentedA             D MajorD
and the people asked him, ?lonely boy what?s your name??
                 G+G
but he was too sick to talk so he could not explain
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
so nobody knew what his name was

                   G+G
well all the people cared for him and stayed by his side
    A augmentedA               D MajorD
and the boys health grew weaker as the hours passed by
                   G+G
and in his seat on that train car the little boy died
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
and nobody knew what his name was

           G+G
in South Carolina the train stops still
     A augmentedA        D MajorD
and they carried him off in Graniteville
                 G+G
they made a grave and buried him up on the hill
   A augmentedA          D MajorD
still nobody knew what his name was

D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D G+G A augmentedA D MajorD

    D MajorD               G+G
to this day his grave?s kept clean and covered with toys
   A augmentedA             D MajorD
with hopes that he?ll have some thing to enjoy
                   G+G            A augmentedA          D MajorD
and his headstone still simple reads ?The Little Boy??cause nobody knew what his name was

   D MajorD                G+G
well some nights at midnight a light shines on his grave
  A augmentedA         D MajorD
or so I?ve heard the townspeople say
     D MajorD             G+G
and some say they?ve even seen him come out to play
     A augmentedA           D MajorD
but still nobody knows what his name was
