Boomer's Story (Live) - Ry Cooder & Corridos Famosos

Written by：Ry Cooder

Come and gather all around me

Listen to my tale of woe

Got some good advice to give you

Lots of things you oughta know

Take a tip from one who's traveled

Never stopped a ramblin' 'round

'Cause once you get the roamin' fever

You never want to settle down boy

You never want to settle down

Well met a little gal in Frisco

And I asked her to be my wife say please

Told her I was tired of roamin'

And I goin' to settle down for life

Then I heard the whistle blowin'

And I knew it was the red ball train

And I left that gal beside the railroad

I never saw the gal again boy

I never saw the gal again

Well I never saw the gal again

I never saw the gal again

Left that gal beside the railroad

Never saw the gal again

Traveled all over the country yeah

I've traveled everywhere

And I've been on every branch line railroad

Never paid a nickel fare

If you wanna do me a favor

When I lay me down and die

Just dig my grave beside the railroad

So I can hear the trains go by boy

So I can hear the trains go by

I can hear the trains go by

I can hear the trains go by

Just dig my grave beside the railroad

So I can hear the trains go by

I can hear the trains go by

I can hear the trains go by

Dig my grave beside the railroad

So I can hear the trains go by
