Santa Fe Blues
Lightnin' Hopkins / Mack McCormick
I ain't gonna tell nobody,
Santa Fe did to me.
I ain't gonna tell nobody
What the Santa Fe did to me.
You know, it taken away my lover,
Sin got my old time, used to be.
You know, I was standin at the station,
When my baby got on board.
I was standin at the station,
When my baby got on board.
Sound like I could here her tellin, "I'm gone this time,"
"Lightnin, I won't be back no more."
You know, that lil' mean old Santa Fe,
Taken my baby away from me.
You know, that lil' mean old Santa Fe,
Taken my baby away from me.
Yeah, she left early one mornin,
She left on the Santa Fe.
You know that old Santa Fe,
Big, bad luck to me.
You know that old Santa Fe,
Big, bad luck to me.
You know, it taken away my lover,
Sin got my old time, used to be.
