Song lyrics

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 learned this tune from a record
I heard by him

[2x:]
Silver City bound I'm Silver City bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm Silver City bound
I'm gonna meet Blind Lemon gonna ride on down

[2x:]
Take me by the hand oh babe
And lead me to the promises land

Silver City bound I'm Silver City bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm Silver City bound
I'm gonna meet Blind Lemon gonna ride on down

[2x:]
Take me by the hand oh babe
And lead me to the promises land

[2x:]
Silver City bound I'm Silver City bound
I'm gonna tell my little baby I'm Silver City bound
I'm gonna meet Blind Lemon gonna ride on down
