Santa Fe Blues Lyrics


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.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
