Santa Fe
Love Lost on the Tracks: Santa Fe's Heartbreak Tale by Lightnin' Hopkins
Lyrics
I ain't gonna tell nobody,
I choose not to disclose to anyone
Santa Fe did to me
What Santa Fe did to me
I ain't gonna tell nobody,
I won't reveal to anybody
what the Santa Fe did to me
The impact Santa Fe had on me
You know, it taken away my lover,
It has taken away my lover
sin got my old time, used to be
Sin has corrupted my old-time, what used to be
You know, I was standin' at the station,
I was at the station
when my baby got on board
When my baby boarded the train
I was standin' at the station,
I was at the station
when my baby got on board.
When my baby boarded the train
Sound like I could here her tellin', "I'm gone this time,
It seems like I could hear her saying, "I'm leaving this time, Lightnin', I won't return anymore"
Lightnin', I won't be back no more"
Expressing the emotional departure of his beloved
You know, that lil' mean old Santa Fe,
The small and seemingly mean Santa Fe
taken my baby away from me
Has taken his baby away
You know, that lil' mean old Santa Fe,
The small and seemingly mean Santa Fe
taken my baby away from me
Has taken his baby away
Yeah, she left early one mornin',
She left early one morning
she left on the Santa Fe
She left on the Santa Fe
You know that old Santa Fe,
The old Santa Fe brings significant misfortune to him
big, bad luck to me
-You know that old Santa Fe,
It has taken away his lover
big, bad luck to me
Sin has corrupted his old-time, what used to be
You know, it taken away my lover,
It has taken away my lover
sin got my old time, used to be
Sin has corrupted my old-time, what used to be
