Whatshername by Peter, Paul & Mary

Jimmy mcgregor, hey, jimmy, come here!
Jimmy you son of a gun!
What 'cha been doin'? how long has it been?
Hell, seven years if it's been one.

How's the preacher? how's don, did he go back to school?
(no kidding, i thought he was gay!)
Who me? oh, i'm great! i'm a father you know.
Yeah, two of 'em and one on the way.

Oh, well, she couldn't make it, she gets pretty tired,
She started her last month today.
I only came up for a couple of minutes,
Believe me, i wish i could stay.

Oh, and yeah while i think of it, do you remember,
Not for myself, for a friend.
A girl that i brought here, before i got married
A couple of times at the end.

Whatshername? she hardly knew me;
Now her name means something to me.
I wonder if she ever got over me?

Anyway i should be flattered
For yesterday at least i mattered
Where did it go?

Jimmy i tell you we're two lucky guys
You've got everything that you've planned.
And all things considered i've done fairly well
I mean god's honest truth, man
I love ruth and whatshername?

I thought i knew her, whatshername?
What happened to her,
I don't know why i'll never forget
Whatshername?
