Charlie Feathers - South Of Chicago

I know a place, not very far
South of Chicago town
South of Chicago, east of the sun
I let my true lover down

He caught a train out of town
He let his true lover down

I got off in Reno just for a day
A stranger, no one knew my name
I spent all my money, having some fun
I wish I had stayed on the train

He should have stayed on the train
He should have stayed on the train

Ninety-seven miles, south of Chicago
I caught a train westward bound
Ninety-seven miles, south of Chicago
I let my true lover down

He let his true lover down
He let his true lover down

The anger in my heart
Had simmered down
I got to see her again
I'm going back
Where I left my heart
Gonna catch an eastbound train

He had to see her again
He caught an eastbound train

Ninety-seven miles, south of Chicago
Right back where I started from
Ninety-seven miles, south of Chicago
Back in my true lovers arms

Back in his true lovers arms
Back in his true lovers arms
