Lightnin' Hopkins

Santa Fe Blues

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
