Baby Doe Lyrics by The Black Lillies

Runaway Freeway Blues

0

Come on baby, sweet little Baby Doe
You're the queen of the silver town, you're the diamond in my soul
You traveled all across the country, you know you've got to find that gold
Come on baby, sweet little Baby Doe
Well you went out to the west land, searching for the Promised Land
You fell in with a dealer, he stacked the deck and then away he ran
But of you'd only be my baby, I'd be your sweet loving man
I got sixty-four dollars and a brand new plan
Me and ol’ Frisco gonna climb up way over town
Just a pick and a shovel, and we ain't coming down
‘Til there's a hole in the mountain, see what we find
I hope ya like silver - we've got a brand new mine
Come on baby, sweet little Baby Doe
You're the queen of the silver town, you're the diamond in my soul
You traveled all across the country, you know you've got to find that gold
Come on baby, sweet little Baby Doe
Now she's struttin' down the main way, no more dodgin' down the alleyways
Mr. Tabor he's a rich man, he's got his baby and a hot hand
But the state of Colorado, don't believe what they can see
Just cause you got some money, don't mean that you've received
An invitation to the party or a hand at the governor's ball
Better get back to the mountain, get back before the fall
Come on baby, sweet little Baby Doe
You're the queen of the silver town, you're the diamond in my soul
You travelled all across the country, you know you've got to find that gold
Come on baby, sweet little Baby Doe
