I've  been traveling over mountains,
 even through the valleys, too.
 I've been traveling night and day,
 running all the way,  baby, trying to get to you.
Ever  since I read your letter,
 where you said you loved me, true.
 I've been traveling night and day,
 running all the way,  baby, trying to get to you.
When  I read your lovin' letters..
 then my heart began to sing.
 there were many miles between  us,
 but they didn't mean a thing.
 (INTERLUDE:)
Well,  if I had to do it over..
 that's exactly what I'd do.
 I'd travel night and day,  and I'd still
 run all the way,  baby, trying to get to you.
 I kept traveling night and day,
 running 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 darkest night,
 He would shine His brightest light,
 When I was trying to get to you.
 A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
