"Silver City Bound" lyrics


Lomax, ledbetter
Yeah...This is a song... was sung by leadbelly and it was written for...his friend...He had a friend named blind lemon...And they used to ride back and forth on a train from somewhere to texas...And I leraned this tune from a recordI heard by him
Silver city bound I'm silver city boundI'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city boundI'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on downSilver city bound I'm silver city boundI'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city boundI'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down
Take me by the hand oh babeAnd lead me to the promises landTake me by the hand oh babe

And lead me to the promised land
Silver city bound I'm silver city boundI'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city boundI'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down
Take me by the hand oh babeAnd lead me to the promises landTake me by the hand oh babeAnd lead me to the promised land
I'm silver city bound I'm silver city boundI'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city boundI'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down
Silver city bound I'm silver city boundI'm gonna tell my little baby I'm silver city boundI'm gonna meet blind lemon gonna ride on down
