Album - Ricky Sings Again - 1959.

(Capo 2nd fret.)

#1.
A
I've been traveling over mountains,

even through the valleys, too.
D
I've been traveling night and day,
E A
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

#2.
A
Ever since I read your letter,

where you said you loved me, true.
D
I've been traveling night and day,
E A A7
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

CHORUS:
A7 D
When I read your lovin' letters..
A
then my heart began to sing.
B
there were many miles between us,
E
but they didn't mean a thing.

(INTERLUDE:)

#3.
A
Well, if I had to do it over..

that's exactly what I'd do.
D
I'd travel night and day, and I'd still
E A
run all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
D
I kept traveling night and day,
E A A7
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

CHORUS:
A7 D
Well, there's nothing that could hold me.
A
Or that could keep me away from you.
B
When your loving letter told me,
E
that you really loved me, true.

#5.
E A
Lord above me knows I love you.

It was He who brought me through.
D
When my way was darkest night,
E
He would shine His brightest light,
A
When I was trying to get to you.
