Oh 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 record I heard by him
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
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
Take me by the hand
Oh babe
And lead me to the promises land
Take me by the hand
Oh babe
And lead me to the promised 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
Take me by the hand
Oh babe
And lead me to the promises land
Take me by the hand
Oh babe
And lead me to the promised land
I'm 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
I'm gonna meet blind lemon, gonna ride on down
Silver city bound, 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
I'm gonna meet blind lemon, gonna ride on down
