I ain't gonna tell nobody,
what the Santa Fe did to me

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

she left on the Santa Fe
You know that old Santa Fe,
