First Train Headin South lyrics

I didn t know my baby love me so until that letter come to let me know
Now I pack my bags and then I ll go and catch a first train I see headin 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 cought a first train I saw headin 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 cought a first train I see headin south
I didn t know my baby love me so...
[ guitar ]
I didn t know my baby love me so...

If I got this letter in Ohio with a busted back and arms and broken toe
There d be no hesitation I would go and catch a first train I saw headin 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 freight train I caught headin south
I didn t know my baby love me so...
