Nina Simone Lyrics - Blood And Candle Smoke - 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.. 

..........All across Mexico
