From the recording No One Here By That Name

Lyrics

Mailman, please take back these letters from my box
There’s no one here by that name
He didn’t leave a forwarding address
There’s nothing here he wants to claim
 
Each day the telephone keeps ringing off the wall
There is no man of the house, I explain
I don’t have a number where he can be found
And there’s no one here by that name
 
He used to answer to “darlin”
But I called today and no one came
Now it’s a word that means nothing
‘Cause there’s no one here by that name
 
She was laughing when she said it
I was crying just the same
Our baby spoke her first word today
But there’s no one here by that name
 
No, he gave no answer
When she called to him so plain
Now all our words mean nothing
When there’s no one here by that name
No, he gave no answer
When she called him by his name
Now all our words they mean nothing
When there’s no one here by that name
Oh, no there’s no one here by that name
