 D                          G
 One day I went and left my home out in the West
 Bm                               A
 Said I was headed for the Silver City
 D                        G
 All along the line I was dreaming all the time
 Bm              A              D
 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 fron the Silver City?
 
 Now the moon crys 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)
