Lyrics:

First Train Heading Southby Johnny Horton CI didn't know my baby loved me so F CUntil that letter come to let me know F CNow I pack my bags and then I'll go G7 CAnd catch the first train I see heading south If I got this letter in Idaho F CWhere snow's so deep it wouldn't let me go F CI'd went hog wild and melted all that snow G7 CAnd caught the first train I saw heading south If I got this letter in Iowa F CNothing in this world could make me stay F CI'd grab my hat and then been on my way G7 CAnd caught the first train I saw heading south repeat #1 If I?d got this letter in Ohio F CWith a busted back two arms and broken toe F CThere'd be no hesitation I would go G7 CAnd catch the first train I saw heading south But I got this letter up in Maine F CYou can bet your bottom dollar I feel the same F CEvery clickety clack of drivers call her name G7 CAs I ride this first train I caught heading south repeat #1
