Silver City
Joe Ely

One day I went and left my home out in the West

Said I was headed for the Silver City

All along the line, I was dreaming all the time

Dreaming of the shining Silver City

I kissed my love goodbye, said Honey don't you cry

For I'm going to the Silver City

If you could read my mind, you'd know that I'll be fine

Soon as I do my time in the Silver City

Two weeks and a day, I slowly made my way

To the gates of the Silver City

Finally one night, I saw the flaming lights

I had made it to the Silver City

I honestly believed that I would be received

With the golden key to the Silver City

But my first night on the town, bandits knocked me down

They welcomed me to the Silver City

Musta' been a freak mistake I said as I did wake

In the gutter of the Silver City

With a throbbing head, I begged for my bread

Half-smiling as I bled in the Silver City

Oh, how can there ever be such misery in the streets?

How can it ever be in the Silver City?

But soon enough I saw how easy it was to fall

And not be seen at all in the Silver City

Got caught for a crime I done, policeman said Son

Don't you try to run in the Silver City

He locked me in his jail, no one to go my bail

Oh, when can I sail away from the Silver City?

Now the moon cries through the bars, my love shines in the stars

I'm glad that she is far from the Silver City

If she could read my mind she'd know that I'll be fine

Soon as I do my time in the Silver City

Judge said five to nine in the Silver City
