• The Little Boy

1855 a long time ago
a little boy stands waiting all alone
by the train tracks outside the railroad depot
and nobody knew what his name was

well he climbed up inside of the very next train
and the people asked him, “lonely boy what’s your name?”
but he was too sick to talk so he could not explain
so nobody knew what his name was

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

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

to this day his grave’s kept clean and covered with toys
with hopes that he’ll have something to enjoy
and his headstone still simple reads “The Little Boy” cause nobody knew what his name was

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