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)

Gonna catch an eastbound train
(He had to see her again)
