The First Train 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 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
