Did She Mention My Name
(Gordon Lightfoot)
It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the
time of day, And talk about the home town a
million miles away. Is the ice still in the
river, are the old folks still the same? And by
the way, did she mention my name?
Did she mention my name just in passing? And
when the morning came, do you remember if she
dropped a name or two? Is the home team
still on fire, do they still win all the games,
And by the way, did she mention my name?
Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang
in the hall? Are the young girls still as pretty
in the city in the fall? Does the laughter on
their faces still put the sun to shame? And by
the way, did she mention my name?
Did she mention my name just in passing? And
when the talk ran high did the look in her eyes
seem far away? Is the old roof still leaking
when the late snow turns to rain? And by the
way, did she mention my name?
Did she mention my name just in passing? And
looking at the rain, do you remember if she
dropped a name or two? Won't you say hello
from someone, there'll be no need to explain,
And by the way, did she mention my name?
