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 the 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 the 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 the first train I see headin' south
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 the first train I see headin' south
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 the first train I see headin' south
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 the 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 first train I caught headin' south
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 the first train I see headin' south
