black crowes – boomer’s story (acoustic version) [bonus track] lyrics
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 travelled
and 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
i met a little gal in frisco
and i asked her to be my wife
told her i was tired of roamin’
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
and i never saw the gal again, boy
i never saw the gal again
saw that girl again
never saw that girl again
i left that girl beside the railroad
and i never saw that girl again
travelled all over the country
i travelled everywhere
i been on every branch line railroad
and i never paid a nickel fare
i been from maine to califor’ny
and from canada to mexico
i never tried to save no money
and now i got no place to go, boy
now i got no place to go
listen to a boomer’s story
pay attention to what i say
well, i hear another train a-comin’
guess i’ll be on my way
if you want to 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, boys
so i can hear the trains go by
hear the train go by
i can hear the train go by
just bury my bones be side the railroad
so i can hear the train go by
