That Santa Fe took my baby December ninth
Tuesday evening right around six
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
We didn't have no troubles
Just didn't have my business fixed
I stood and looked at that train
Until it went around the bend
Repeat 1
repeat 2
I say I wonder where my baby is
Ever think of me again
Well that blows just like
Oh Lord! it never blowed before
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
I say my baby leavin'
Not to come back no more
I couldn't sleep for dreamin'
'Bout that mean ol' Santa Fe [ Fe rhymes with fee]
repeat 1
Repeat 2
I say it's takin' my baby away
Back to the old time used to be
When the giant wheels start turnin' over
That ol' train says choo choo
I begin to wonder deep down in my heart
What in the world will I do
You know I love you baby
Please never leave
Now when you learn to love me darlin'
Forget about your old time usd to be
