FIRST TRAIN HEADIN’ SOUTH
|
|
I didn't know my baby loved me so
|
Until that letter come to let me know
|
Now I pack my bags and then I'll go
|
And catch the first train I see heading south
|
|
If I got this letter in Idaho
|
Where snow's so deep it wouldn't let me go
|
I'd went hog wild and melted all that snow
|
And caught the first train I saw heading south
|
|
If I got this letter in Iowa
|
Nothing in this world could make me stay
|
I'd grab my hat and then been on my way
|
And caught the first train I saw heading south
|
|
I didn't know my baby loved me so
|
Until that letter come to let me know
|
Now I pack my bags and then I'll go
|
And catch the first train I see heading south

|
I didn't know my baby loved me so
|
Until that letter come to let me know
|
Now I pack my bags and then I'll go
|
And catch the first train I see heading south
|
|
If I'd got this letter in Ohio
|
With a busted back two arms and broken toe
|
There'd be no hesitation I would go
|
And catch the first train I saw heading south
|
|
But I got this letter up in Maine
|
You can bet your bottom dollar I feel the same
|
Every clickety clack of drivers call her name
|
As I ride this first train I caught heading south
|
|
I didn't know my baby loved me so
|
Until that letter come to let me know
|
Now I pack my bags and then I'll go
|
And catch the first train I see heading south
