First Train Headin` South — текст песни (Johnny Horton)

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...
[ guitar ]
I didn`t know my baby...

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...
