1
One day I went and left my home out in the West
2
Said I was headed for the Silver City
3
All along the line, I was dreaming all the time
4
Dreaming of the shining Silver City
5
I kissed my love goodbye, said "Honey don't you cry"
6
For I'm going to the Silver City
7
If you could read my mind, you'd know that I'll be fine
8
Soon as I do my time in the Silver City
9
Two weeks and a day, I slowly made my way
10
To the gates of the Silver City
11
Finally one night, I saw the flaming lights
12
I had made it to the Silver City
13
I honestly believed that I would be received
14
With the golden key to the Silver City
15
But my first night on the town, bandits knocked me down
16
They welcomed me to the Silver City
17
"Musta' been a freak mistake" I said as I did wake
18
In the gutter of the Silver City
19
With a throbbing head, I begged for my bread
20
Half-smiling as I bled in the Silver City
21
Oh, how can there ever be such misery in the streets?
22
How can it ever be in the Silver City?
23
But soon enough I saw how easy it was to fall
24
And not be seen at all in the Silver City
25
Got caught for a crime I done, policeman said "Son"
26
"Don't you try to run in the Silver City"
27
He locked me in his jail, no one to go my bail
28
Oh, when can I sail away from the Silver City?
29
Now the moon cries through the bars, my love shines in the stars
30
I'm glad that she is far from the Silver City
31
If she could read my mind she'd know that I'll be fine
32
Soon as I do my time in the Silver City
33
Judge said five to nine in the Silver City
