Nina Simone - Tom Russell

Trains used to run

All across Mexico

Way down through the XXXXXXX

Where ever in hell you know

It was down in st XXXXXX

That I first heard the sound

Of Nina’s voice on the juke box

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

And I was so lost down there

Out of love and walking alone

But walking beside me Was Nina Simone

Tonight im my dressing room

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On a plate of Spanish apples

Outside in the train yard

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is just Hanks Williams sonnets

And Nina Simone

Yeah we’ve been to hell and back

Love cut us right down to the bone

But walking besides us Is Nina Simone

I’ve driven your highways and back roads

I rode the grey dog

Through the snow and the xxxxxxxxxx

I’ve heard xxxxxxxxxxx

With a little raw saxaphone

But the dark xxxxxxxxxx

With Nina Simone

Yeah we’ve been to hell and back

Love cut us right down to the bone

But walking besides us Was Nina Simone.

…Trains used to run.
