Nina Simone - Nina Simone At Carnegie Hall

Silver City Bound

Yeah
This 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

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 promised 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 promised land

Take me by the hand
Oh, baby
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
I'm gonna ride on down
