It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day

And talk about the hometown 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

And by the way 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 homesteam still on fire do they still win all their games

And by the way did she mention my name

[ harmonica ]

Is the landlord still a loser do his signs hang on the wall

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 lakes all turn to rain

And by the way did she mention my name

[ harmonica ]

Did she mention my name...

And by the way did she mention my name
