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
