First Train Headin' South Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Horton

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 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 caught 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 caught the first train I saw 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 headin'south 

[ guitar ] 

I didn't know my baby loved me so until that letter come to let me know 

Now I'll pack my bags and then I'll go and catch the first train I see headin' 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 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 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 headin'south
