I've been traveling over mountains
  Even through the valley, too
  I've been traveling night and day
  I've been running all the way
  Baby, trying to get to you
  
  Ever since I read your letter
  Where you said you loved me true
  Well, I've been traveling night and day
  I've been running all the way
  Baby, trying to get to you
  
  When I read your loving letter
  Lord, 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 been traveling night and day
  I kept running all the way
  Baby, trying 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 still run all the way
  Baby, trying to get to you
  
  Well, there's nothing that could hold me
  Or that could keep me away from you
  When your loving letter told me
  That you really loved me true
  
  Lord above me knows I love you
  It was He who brought me through
  When my way was dark as night
  He would shine His brightest light
  When I was trying to get to you
