I've been trav'lin' over mountains
Even through the valleys, too
I've been trav'lin' night and day
I've been runnin' all the way
Baby, tryin' to get to you
Ever since I read your letter
Where you said you loved me true
I've been trav'lin' night and day
I've been runnin' all the way
Baby, tryin' to get to you
When I read your lovin' letter
Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us
But they didn't mean a thing
I just had to reach you, baby
In spite of all that I've been through
I kept trav'lin' night and day
I kept runnin' all the way
Baby, tryin' to get to you
Well if I had to do it over
That's exactly what I'd do
I would travel night and day
And I'd still run all the way
Baby, tryin' to get to you
Well, there's nothin' that could hold me
Or could keep me 'way from you
When your lovin' letter told me
That you really loved me true
Lord above He knows I love you
It was He who brought me through
When my way was dark at night
He would shine His brightest light
When I was tryin' to get to you
